Great article. Building sustained relationships with congressional staff is a great idea in principle but I found it hard in practice. It’s not practical to visit DC too often and turnover of LAs and even members can be high, depending on the district. Any suggestions? Target committee staff?

Thanks, I'm probably not the right person to do that, but you could check with Carnegie archivist Maggie Drain (who wrote the article) or with @restorecal.bsky.social, the lab's current director.

Thanks, this is good to know about. Yes, my heart goes out to folks there and in Altadena, etc.

This one is great, thanks. (But the things I'm seeing on it are terrible—so much devastation in SoCal today).

The Watch Duty app is great for collating a variety of resources and discussions happening with crews on the ground; you can also sign up for local notifications, which is super handy. The LA Times reports it got 600k new users last night:

The WIFIRE firemap is pretty easy to use and understand; just click on the layers icon and choose which sensors you want to include on your map: (2/n)
