It is pretty gnarly. Ground is already saturated from prior atmospheric rivers. Many slides. One house 50’ down a hill into the Russian River. A lot of surface water. Best just to hunker down and stay put if not in flood zone.

The Air Quality Index (AQI) that says the air is safe in LA after the wildfires does not take into account toxic gases that form when urban materials burn at such high temps. Considers ozone, PM, NOx, SO2. My team and I are discussing going there to measure the toxins in the air (between SD & LA).

Can you do this using, e.g., the Honeywell activated carbon replacement prefilters? And do you put them on the inside of the MERV 13 filters?

Suggest that anyone who still has a home, fill up the tank/charge the car, pack the car, back into the driveway so you’re pointed at the street, toss anything flammable away from the house or bring it inside and dump it in the spare room. And just leave all of that for a while.

Thanks for this. I am so programmed to deal with Covid and aerosols that I haven’t been paying attention to this. Back to carrying hand sanitizer. Is this in Davis?

“Wildfire management” is correct. Shaded fuel breaks are not “barriers” though. They reduce accumulation of highly flammable brush, eliminate ladder fuels and keep mature trees, resulting in low intensity, beneficial fire. This allows fire fighters to steer fires around communities.

Do you know if the cell towers are holding up? Supposed to have 72 hour backup power in high/moderate fire threat areas. Same for cable and phone company networks, including those providing VoIP phone service.
