We Can't Stop Wildfires—But Here's How We Live With Them

Natural disasters and extreme weather can happen without warning, and being prepared for these events is critical. And with the impacts of climate change, more Americans than ever are at risk of natural disasters. How can families and communities prepare? This series shares real stories from people affected by natural disasters and educates viewers on how they can be prepared.

We Can't Stop Wildfires—But Here's How We Live With Them

Season 1 Episode 1 | 10m 15s | CC

The 2020 fire season is devastating communities, forcing thousands to evacuate, and choking the air with smoke. In this episode of Weathered, scientists and Native leaders tell us what we can do to reduce the harm fires can cause through design, building materials, and listening to the land. We’ll even watch researchers burn a home in their lab to identify weak points and make them stronger.
