They packed up frying pans, towel sets, cleaning supplies, tableware, extension cords, and other home goods in laundry baskets to share with those who visit Union Station for assistance both post-fires and more generally with regard to seeking shelter. Students reflected gratitude for feeling useful; as Reed noted, \u201canything helps.\u201d Alistair shared, \u201cI thought it was interesting to participate in this, considering that we had all had different experiences with the fires\u2026It felt more like a community of people than some of our other experiences in LASA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After some time walking around The Huntington gardens, LASA zoomed in Dr. Rebecca Miller, a researcher with the Science and Technology Policy Institute (STIPE) in Washington DC and former postdoctoral colleague at the Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West\u2019s West on Fire Project. Rebecca\u00a0specializes in fire policy and has focused on the post-fire landscapes of California after the fires of 2018 and 2019.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6171 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/icw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2025\/11\/Image-3-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/icw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2025\/11\/Image-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/icw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2025\/11\/Image-3.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>She describes her work as researching \u201ccurrent wildfire protection and prevention policies in California and their potential impacts on future wildfires in the state.\u201d Carmela described the day as \u201ca deep conversation about fire recovery, gaining insights into the recent LA fires and the importance of resilience.
