It will take between $40M-$60M and 4-5 years to repair the upper portion of the Miocene, destroyed by the #CampFire. With the 3rd anniversary of the disaster approaching, ranchers and farmers reliant upon the canal and desperate for water are still awaiting a decision.

Supervisor Debra Lucero also told the CN&R she'll be proposing a discussion about a local indoor mask mandate, pointing to our county's skyrocketing COVID cases.
Even with COVID-19 hospitalizations at an all time high in Butte County, supervisors will discuss the potential termination of the local disaster proclamation resolution at tomorrow's meeting (Sept. 14). https://t.co/zoSh13FwRq

The stories of these survivors break my heart. The effects of the #CampFire didn't fade. They are long-lasting. While the Ridge is rebuilding, many survivors are still lost and struggling and have nowhere to go. Please give this story a read. Not for me. For them.
Of the 684 households placed into FEMA housing in Butte County as a result of California’s deadliest wildfire on record, 77 remain in such locations. Now they’re running out of time. FEMA is permanently closing its disaster housing on Sept. 13. https://t.co/hXOhq5J1Jq

I met Eric years ago and interviewed him for a story. The last time I saw him, a few months ago, he was outside the Co-op. I bought him some crackers and soup and we chatted. His death, and the circumstances, break my heart.
UPDATE: The Butte County Coroner received autopsy results for Eric Michael Oyler, a 54-year-old unhoused man who died on the porch of a local church in December. Oyler is featured in this issue's cover story centered on deaths within the homeless community. He died of pneumonia.
