26. Dispatches from the Rebuild – Kim on the Street Reportage
<p>A year and a half after the Eaton and Palisades fires, host Kim Marshall takes listeners on a ground-level tour of the two fire zones — from the Altadena Rebuild Trade Show, where hope looks like soil science and a “Sears catalog” of home with a sense of place. To the Palibu Rebuild Expo, where facing the reality of living in a warming world and saying no to fossil fuel products like astroturf, giving hope to displaced seniors and embracing the healing power of nature are reshaping what recovery means.</p><p><br></p><p>Along the way: a Red Cross board member and a volunteer firefighter-dentist making the case that "Ready is the New Well," how leaders of a burned down YMCA are keeping community alive without a building, and the people refusing to let the fire have the last word.</p><p><br></p><p>Our episode begins and ends with a symbol of resilience named Bernard. The power of inspiration and renewal from that 170-year-old tree is the whole episode in one story. Dispatches from the Rebuild is living history, told by the people living it.</p><p> </p><ul><li><p><a href="https://caer.earth/"><u>https://caer.earth</u></a> – Center for Applied Ecological Remediation </p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.foothillcatalog.org/"><u>https://www.foothillcatalog.org</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.resilientpalisades.org"><u>https://www.resilientpalisades.org</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.wiseandhealthyaging.org/"><u>https://www.wiseandhealthyaging.org</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.wiseandhealthyaging.org/"><u>https://www.wiseandhealthyaging.org</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://monarch-nursery.com/"><u>https://monarch-nursery.com</u></a></p></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Donate to </strong><a href="https://creative-visions.networkforgood.com/projects/256286-l-a-rising-podcast-s-fundraiser"><strong>help support #L.A.

25. Ready is the New Well: What the Data Says About Disaster, Resilience, and the Coming Culture Shift - Cecelia Girr
<p>Cecelia Girr is Director of Cultural Strategy at Backslash, the cultural intelligence unit of Omnicom Advertising, and the author of Ready Is the New Well, a landmark report for the Global Wellness Summit on preparedness as a cultural movement.</p><p>In this special double-hosted episode, Cecelia joins our host, Kim Marshall ,and After the Fire CEO, Jennifer Gray Thompson, and Kim Marshall to talk about what the data actually shows: why extreme weather is no longer extreme, why the 2030s will be defined by resilience, and how preparedness has moved from the fringes of doomsday prepper culture into the mainstream.</p><p>They cover fear-based messaging and why it drives paralysis rather than action, Yale research showing that small acts of preparedness reduce anxiety and depression, the role of technology in democratising disaster readiness, the rise of disaster-literate social media creators and brands designing for emergencies, and why social connection turns out to be the strongest predictor of survival after a disaster. </p><p>This is a conversation about culture, data, and what it actually looks like when a society decides to get ready. Find out the key role wellness businesses can play in a warming world. </p><p><strong>Resources:</strong></p><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.globalwellnesssummit.com/"><u>Ready Is the New Well - Global Wellness Institute</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.backslash.com/"><u>Backslash at Omnicom Advertising</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.larising.com/"><u>LA Rising Podcast with Kim Marshall</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.watchduty.org/"><u>Watch Duty App</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://communitybrigade.org/"><u>Community Brigade Malibu</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://afterthefireusa.org/how-to-disaster/"><u>How to Disaster</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://afterthefireusa.org/"><u>Learn more about After the Fire USA</u></a></p></li></ul><p><strong>Donate to </strong><a href="https://creative-visions.networkforgood.com/projects/256286-l-a-rising-podcast-s-fundraiser"><strong>help support #L.A.

#24. Leading with Compassion and Candor In L.A.’s Most Disaster-Prone District - Councilwoman Traci Park of CD 11.
<p>In this episode, our host, Kim Marshall, reunites with Councilwoman Traci Park—the leader she first met stranded on the roadside during the Palisades Fire. Together, they unpack what really happens after the cameras leave: the long-tail trauma that outlasts the smoke, the mental health crisis facing fire survivors, and the brutal maze of insurance, rebuilding, and bureaucracy. </p><p>Traci shares candidly how she sees her job (“I was elected to fight City Hall, not be City Hall”), why wellness—from clean streets and safe housing to Venice’s emerging wellness corridor—is at the center of every decision she makes, and how communities can stay united instead of turning on each other during the long rebuild. This conversation is for anyone navigating disaster recovery, questioning government response, or looking for grounded reasons to hope—and practical ways to plug into help. It’s fitting that the episode was filmed at the podcast studio in the wellness-themed, Moss co-working space. </p><p>Our Wellness Lift segment features guidance from Colonel Eric Swenson of the Army Corps of Engineers and representatives from the Trauma Resource Institute on the life and death realities of supporting each other post disaster and the importance of resetting the nervous system after trauma. </p><p><strong>Resources:</strong></p><li><ul><li>Learn more about <a href="https://cd11.lacity.gov/"><u>Councilwoman Traci Park</u></a> </li><li><a href="https://pacpalicc.org/"><u>Pacific Palisades Community Council</u></a></li><li><a href="https://palirecovery.org/"><u>Palisades Recovery Coalition</u></a></li><li><a href="https://www.traumaresourceinstitute.com/"><u>Trauma Resource Institute</u></a></li><li><a href="https://lafirehealth.org/la-county-dept-of-mental-health-resources/"><u>L.A.
