San Jose firefighters are assisting in combatting extensive wildfires in Los Angeles County that have devastated thousands of structures and resulted in numerous fatalities. Mayor Matt Mahan is urging local officials to improve emergency preparedness to address the increasing frequency of climate-related disasters such as wildfires and earthquakes. With the lessons learned from the LA fires, which left many in peril due to traffic congestion, San Jose is ideally positioned with its public transportation systems that can aid in effective emergency evacuations, thus potentially saving lives and preserving infrastructure.
San Jose's Mayor stresses the need for integrating public transportation into emergency planning to mitigate damage from increasing climate-driven disasters like wildfires and earthquakes.
