Thousands Fled California’s Caldor Fire. They Lived; But Their Homes Are Gone.

September 26, 2021

Catastrophic weather events are getting worse. As the climate continues to change, the world is seeing more fires, hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes. It’s also pushing more people out of their homes. The World Bank predicts if we continue on this path, weather disasters will displace more than 200 million people by 2050. In fact, it’s already happening. California’s Caldor Fire forced up to 60,000 people to flee. Despite the destruction, not one life was lost. Correspondent Dina Demetrius shows us the massive effort to move people to safety and the heartbreaking return to the devastation.
