petergleick,

From my new LA Times op-ed.

"Atmospheric rivers and bone-dry droughts are like earthquakes and wildfires — challenges Californians have to face. We know they’re coming; we just don’t know exactly when or where. An earthquake-resilient house or a more flood-resilient community won’t stop the ground from shaking or the rain from falling, but it can mean the difference between weathering the storm or cleaning up after a disaster."

gopal,

@petergleick CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) started in LA. It is a group of volunteers that the program became a model for the rest country that deals with lots of kinds of problems like the ones you mention for responding to events like those. https://community.fema.gov/PreparednessCommunity/s/welcome-to-cert?language=en_US

As far as updating the building codes to meet the increasing number of event that is a good thought and this is call here for others for ideas.
