Making it illegal isn't an answer to informal settlements. Humans have a right to adequate housing. We should focus on solutions to the problems that we have created, not make it illegal for people to live.

Every attack on a humanitarian is an attack on the community they served, and a betrayal to the laws designed to protect civilians and alleviate suffering in conflict.

Great work being done in Southern California!
In March and April, we installed 2,657 smoke alarms, made 987 homes safer, and served 2,279 residents in Southern California. 🚨 🏠 ⛑️

Number 3 is especially important for children on the autistic spectrum. Stay safe!
🏠 🚒 It's always important to prepare your children in the even you have a home fire.
1) Teach them what a smoke alarm sounds like.
2) Practice a family escape plan.
3) Tell them to never go back into a burning home.

Here in Northern California, we tend to focus on wildfires, earthquakes, home fires, and floods. However, while installing smoke alarms a week ago, the number one question asked was, "How do I stay safe during a tornado?"
When a tornado strikes, the safest place to shelter is an interior, windowless room on the lowest level of your place.
If you live in an apartment and can’t get to the first floor of your building safely, here are some other places you can shelter to stay safe.

Two tanks are a vital source of water for a village in Vanuatu, off Australia's coast. An earthquake last year damaged the village's water supply, forcing people to trek to a distant, contaminated river. The Vanuatu Red Cross installed the tanks and is addressing other earthquake-related challenges.

Black history happens every day, and the stories from NPR listeners are good examples of that. From becoming the first Black mayor of a town to singing music about change, these stories matter.
