Taylor officially began his ministry as bishop of the Diocese of Los Angeles near the end of the opening Eucharist (above) of Diocesan Convention on Dec. 1 when retiring Bishop J. Jon Bruno handed him the historic crozier borne by each bishop of the diocese (above right). Taylor immediately exercised his new authority by naming Mary Bruno, the retiring bishop’s spouse, as an honorary canon of the Cathedral Center of St. Paul (at right). Delegates and clergy honored the couple with an extended ovation. Taylor then presided over the meeting, which elected new officers, received reports of work, voted on resolutions, and heard addresses by Bishop Taylor and Bishop Suffragan Diane Jardine Bruce. Both addresses are posted on the diocesan Facebook page; links to videos are at bit.ly/2kAwfK8 (or visit episcopalnews.com), along with links to the biannual Margaret Parker Lecture, delivered by Bishop Minerva Carcaño of the United Methodist Church (pictured at left), texts of adopted resolutions, and a list of clergy and lay people elected to diocesan offices. A full report on the 2017 meeting of Diocesan Convention will appear in the Winter 2018 issue of The Episcopal News, due out next week.

    TESTIMONY of RANDY MOORE, REGIONAL FORESTER PACIFIC SOUTHWEST REGION UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE—FOREST SERVICE BEFORE THE UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND REFORM—SUBCOMMITTEE ON ENVIRONMENT August 20, 2019 Concerning WILDFIRE RESPONSE AND RECOVERY EFFORTS IN CALIFORNIA Chairman Rouda, Ranking Member and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss wildfire response and recovery efforts in California. My testimony today will focus on the 2017-2018 fire seasons, as well as the forecasted 2019 wildfire activity this summer and fall. I will also provide an overview of the Forest Service’s wildfire mitigation strategies, including ways the Forest Service is working with its many partners to improve forest conditions and help communities prepare for wildfire. 2017 AND 2018 WILDIRES AND RELATED RECOVERY EFFORTS In the past two years, California has experienced the deadliest and most destructive wildfires in its recorded history. More than 17,000 wildfires burned over three million acres across all land ownerships, which is almost three percent of California’s land mass. These fires tragically killed 146 people, burned down tens of thousands of homes and businesses and destroyed billions of dollars of property and infrastructure. In California alone, the Forest Service spent $860 million on fire suppression in 2017 and 2018. In 2017, wind-driven fires in Napa and neighboring counties in Northern California tragically claimed more than 40 lives, burned over 245,000 acres, destroyed approximately 8,900 structures and had over 11,000 firefighters assigned. In Southern California, the Thomas Fire burned over 280,000 acres, destroying over 1,000 structures and forced approximately 100,000 people to evacuate.

Abstract Between 2017 and 2019, California experienced a series of devastating wildfires that together led over one million people to be ordered to evacuate. Due to the speed of many of these wildfires, residents across California found themselves in challenging evacuation situations, often at night and with little time to escape. These evacuations placed considerable stress on public resources and infrastructure for both transportation and sheltering.

    Understanding California Wildfire Evacuee Behavior and Joint Choice-Making A TSRC Working Paper May 2020 Stephen D. Wong Jacquelyn C. Broader Joan L. Walker, Ph.D. Susan A. Shaheen, Ph.D. Wong, Broader, Walker, Shaheen Understanding California Wildfire Evacuee Behavior and Joint Choice- Making WORKING PAPER Stephen D. Wong 1,2,3 Jacquelyn C. Broader 2,3 Joan L. Walker, Ph.D. 1,3 Susan A. Shaheen, Ph.D. 1,2,3 1 Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering 2 Transportation Sustainability Research Center 3 Institute of Transportation Studies University of California, Berkeley Corresponding Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT For evacuations, people must make the critical decision to evacuate or stay followed by a multi- dimensional choice composed of concurrent decisions of their departure time, transportation mode, route, destination, and shelter type. These choices have important impacts on transportation response and evacuation outcomes. While extensive research has been conducted on hurricane evacuation behavior, little is known about wildfire evacuation behavior. To address this critical research gap, particularly related to joint choice-making in wildfires, we surveyed individuals impacted by the 2017 December Southern California Wildfires (n=226) and the 2018 Carr Wildfire (n=284). Using these data, we contribute to the literature in two key ways. First, we develop two simple binary choice models to evaluate and compare the factors that influence the decision to evacuate or stay. Mandatory evacuation orders and higher risk perceptions both increased evacuation likelihood. Individuals with children and with higher education were more likely to evacuate, while individuals with pets, homeowners, low-income households, long-term residents, and prior evacuees were less likely to evacuate.
