Last year, the Eaton Fire devastated Altadena, California, killing 19 people, destroying more than 9,000 structures, and leaving an entire community trying to rebuild.
Now, as Altadena is still recovering, another wildfire season is already underway.
In this episode of HEATED, we speak with Savannah Bradley, co-founder of A Resilient Tomorrow, a community-led disaster recovery organization launched after the Eaton Fire by Black women with deep roots in Altadena. They discuss what it means to recover from one climate-fueled disaster while preparing for the next one, and what communities actually need to rebuild safely and justly.
Then we head to Capitol Hill to speak with Rep. Judy Chu about the fight for federal disaster aid, climate resilience funding, and who should pay as climate disasters become more destructive and more expensive.
