Rebuild:LA: Episode 94 - How DO You Get Out of LA?

Send us Fan Mail This week, we continue our series on evacuation when host Cameron Barrett chats with Palisades Fire Survivor Erin Kyle Osborne. When Erin evacuated on January 6, 2025, she had packed the car with her daughter, her daughter’s friend, the cats, and a few precious things she had time to grab. But the minute she hit Palisades Parkway, she joined thousands of others trying to flee. Turns out the only thing fast-moving was the wildfire bearing down on them. The field team also visits the LAFD’s Metro Fire Communications to learn how emergencies are deemed serious enough to call an evacuation, and what apps LA residents should load onto their phones now to stay on top of emergency notifications.  Resources: Los Angeles Fire Department Emergency Alerts Watch Duty Genasys Protect Everbridge 360 Support the show
