    Emergency Evacuations

I thought I was very prepared for an emergency with packed Go Bags in our vehicles and one in our hall closet that had a list in large letters of what to grab. But when my husband and I were given exactly ONE MINUTE to get out because the fire was only 100 feet

    FIRE: The New Abnormal and Rescuing Baby Animals

    The loss of lives and the devastation to California forests and homes in the past couple of years has many people re-thinking global warming.

As the temperatures rise and the vegetation gets drier, California can expect a 50% increase in burning blazes. What needs to be done and how can we protect ourselves from the next inferno? Cynthia Brian fuels the debate on how to manage o

    Firescaping

    “Some say the world will end in fire.” Robert Frost A running crown fire came rolling down the hillside toward our Lake County mountain cabin, moving faster than any human could run. All exits were blocked. Trees vaporized. Sixteen civilians trapped in the valley were being gathered in the meadow around our house. This acre of lush green grass would be the safety zone, everyone’s last hope of survival. Ninety firefighters had been spread out along the roads, trails, and hills

Resting on the boundary where the North American and Eurasian Tectonic plates meet, Iceland is a country of intense volcanic eruptions, boiling hot springs, rushing rivers, venting steam, spouting geysers, powerful waterfalls, ice caves, aqua blue lagoons, northern lights, and minimal su

    If Be the Star You Are!® 501 c3 charity's mission statement could be condensed into three simple words, they would be "positive message media." This goal takes many forms.
