About Paper:

This research aims to create a cohesive timeline of the Palisades and Eaton fires, and as well as the many challenges people will face post- wildfire. With a cohesive timeline, we will gain a better understanding of the challenges that people face because it provides better information organization and progression tracking. A greater grasp of these challenges will allow for the minimization of chaos and lasting effects of future wildfire. The initial phase of research began with review of literature pertaining to wildfires and their effect on people. The review then expanded to explore challenges that were commonly faced during and after wildfire. Our focus then switched to gathering and organizing the events of the Eaton and Palisades fires into a digestible timeline by searching for news articles, government announcements, and timelines published by a collection of organizations. Both sets of information were then compared to determine the consistency between the literature and the challenges that people of the Eaton and Palisades fires faced. Comparing the Eaton and Palisades timeline with the literature reveals a consistency between the two sets of information. Given the growing threat that wildfire poses each year, understanding the challenges to come will be essential to efficient and maximum recovery. Keywords: [no keywords provided]
