re: Spokane wildfire disaster, and people wondering about how to maintain situational awareness of when this might happen, I have my wildlife safety protocol pinned here as a thread on my profile right here.
The situation in Spokane met all the criteria (namely, Red Flag Warning, and wind). Unfortunately, we've moved into an era where SOMEWHERE in the US has been in this situation all summer, particularly the Rockies; so you've got to keep an eye on conditions in your area.

Last week mayor pro tem Engler and I attended the National League of Cities summer conference in Louisville, KY, featuring seminars on public safety, energy and the environment, and maintaining civility in divisive times. Here I join city leaders from around the country on a tour of the Louisville Water Co., which has 100+ years of disaster recovery experience.
These conferences aren’t just educational; they also help connect us with tens of millions in grant funding. And by banding together, NLC member cities successfully lobby for federal legislation that protects our interests (for example, by shielding cities from liability for PFAS/PFOS “forever chemicals” dumped by others).
Many thanks to all at Louisville Metro for being such great hosts!

"Quantifiable risk belongs to the casino, the mortality table, and the actuarial ledger. It describes a world where the outcome of an event is unknown, but historical data exists to support a probability estimate. Because the boundaries of the system are fixed, we can use historical data to calculate numerical odds.
Knightian uncertainty, by contrast, considers the unprecedented. It arises when a situation, like climate change, is so novel or complex that history offers no guide. We are pushing the biosphere far outside its Holocene baseline, entering an environment where the variables themselves are changing, and the models used to project future outcomes break down."
