It will take between $40M-$60M and 4-5 years to repair the upper portion of the Miocene, destroyed by the #CampFire. With the 3rd anniversary of the disaster approaching, ranchers and farmers reliant upon the canal and desperate for water are still awaiting a decision.

Supervisor Debra Lucero also told the CN&R she'll be proposing a discussion about a local indoor mask mandate, pointing to our county's skyrocketing COVID cases.

Even with COVID-19 hospitalizations at an all time high in Butte County, supervisors will discuss the potential termination of the local disaster proclamation resolution at tomorrow's meeting (Sept. 14).

The stories of these survivors break my heart. The effects of the #CampFire didn't fade. They are long-lasting. While the Ridge is rebuilding, many survivors are still lost and struggling and have nowhere to go. Please give this story a read. Not for me. For them.

Of the 684 households placed into FEMA housing in Butte County as a result of California’s deadliest wildfire on record, 77 remain in such locations.

Now they’re running out of time. FEMA is permanently closing its disaster housing on Sept. 13.

I met Eric years ago and interviewed him for a story. The last time I saw him, a few months ago, he was outside the Co-op. I bought him some crackers and soup and we chatted. His death, and the circumstances, break my heart.

#BREAKING: As of noon today, Butte County was moved back into the "purple" or "widespread" tier—the most restrictive tier of California's Blueprint for a Safer Economy. This is due to an increase in COVID-19 numbers to a rate of 10.8 new cases per day per 100,000 residents.
