Nina Knierim and her family lost their house in the Pacific Palisades fire. Their life has been wholly up-ended, and sadly, the nightmare is not ending soon. Nina shares her family’s story, from the moment they saw the fire racing toward them and how they are struggling to put their lives back together in Los Angeles’ challenging housing environment.
Nina also works as a climate action strategist and a (wildfire) disaster preparedness and resilience expert for CORE- Community Organized Relief Effort, Co-Founded by actor Sean Penn. She is joined by her colleague, Yosef Jalil, CORE’s Area Director for California, and they discuss how they are offering substantial, long-term support for wildfire victims and the difficult decisions all residents in fire-prone regions now face in the wake of one of the costliest natural disasters in U.S. history.
