The Los Angeles Fires are a huge loss to those who lived there. I can’t even imagine or find the “just right” words.
They’ve lost so much.
Yet there are people coming together to help in many ways. Organizations
throughout Our country are collecting donations to help those in needs.
I came across an article, “After The Fires: How to Rebuild Los Angeles”
https://www.cfr.org/expert-brief/after-fires-how-rebuild-los-angeles
“The post-fire landscape raises the possibility of alternative land use forms to increase the resilience and sustainability of the city. More green space could reduce fire risk by acting as a buffer between developed and high-risk fire areas as well as reducing fuel loads. Areas such as playing fields, bike paths, and golf courses can slow the spread of fire. When irrigated, they can provide moisture to reduce ignitions.”
“Fire-resistant plants and landscaping techniques can also lower fire risk.
Additional green space could add to the vitality and health of the city, bringing the added benefit of reducing urban temperatures while acting as a “carbon sink” to trap carbon dioxide before it reaches the atmosphere. To be sure, achieving that goal would still face many obstacles, including the fact that much of the charred land is in private hands.”
We can create.
We can join together to make our communities more
resilient
stronger
nurturing
beautiful

Soldier Portraits
Darla Dixon organized a group of artists who will create no-charge compassionate portraits for the families who have lost a loved one in Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom. We are looking for artists to join our efforts, and also for non-artists who will help spread the word about this free service and token of our gratitude to families
who have sacrificed so much.”
