TUESDAY, JULY 8
PROGRAM #10828 11:00 PM PT

National Alert for Fire Threats (repeat). 

Following the devastating fires in Los Angeles, this year’s dry season is expected to bring even worse fires to California and the western states. Unprecedented heat waves are creating conditions that can ignite vegetation. What are the plans to build resilience, create effective early warning systems, and coordinate emergency responses, particularly in the most vulnerable communities, such as immigrant populations? This program was originally aired on July 1, 2025.

Guests: Eduardo García, Climate and Health Dashboard Policy Director, Latino Community Foundation (UCLA), Los Angeles, CA; Ricardo Alterno, speaker, American Red Cross, Los Angeles, CA; Ramón Cruz, environmental advocate, Climate Power en Acción, Brooklyn, NY; Karin Stein, Iowa Field Organizer, Moms Clean Air Force, Kellogg, IA.
