Deep dives

Inadequate Infrastructure for Wildfire Management

The inadequacy of California's infrastructure to combat devastating wildfires is underscored by statements from former officials. Despite being aware of the state's wildfire risks for years, investments in necessary water, power, and firefighting capabilities have been lacking. The cost of implementing such infrastructure would be significantly higher than current expenditures, indicating a broader societal unwillingness to finance these preparations. This approach has led to a reactionary stance instead of proactive measures against increasingly intense wildfires.
