Wildfire

While the wildfire has yet to claim any lives it is destroying all the land and the structures in its way.  I think they are taking affirmative action in making sure that all of the residence are making it out of their homes in plenty of time.  Having an early and urgent alarm is very important in keeping people safe.  While the people are not being harmed, their homes are going up in flames.  I think the rebuilding process will be slow, leaving many people homeless for a long time.  It will be hard for this area to be resilient because the last massive wildfire was in 2002 so they are not conditioned to handle a wildfire of this caliber.  They could have prevented structure loss by not building all or most of the structures with wood.  Using a different product could have helped decrease the amount of homes and structures destroyed.
