"Today marks 63 years since the implementation of this video, in 1962. Reflecting on the ongoing wildfire challenges in Los Angeles, California 01/2025, it is evident that significant progress remains to be made. Unfortunately, one of the largest mass fires occurred again this January 2025, highlighting the persistent vulnerabilities.
Despite the passage of decades, it seems little has changed in terms of preparedness and resilience. With over 90% of homes destroyed this time, there is now an urgent opportunity to rebuild with foresight—constructing homes that are not only structurally resilient but also situated in safer, more suitable locations.
The arrival of the Santa Ana winds, often referred to as 'devil winds,' should no longer catch citizens unprepared. It is imperative to adopt strategies that anticipate these recurring natural forces, ensuring that communities are better equipped for the future."
If we do not learn from history, it always repeats itself. We have become an unlearned society. How or will this ever change?
Very sad.
