Through essays and interviews, \u003ci\u003eRed Flag Warning\u003c\/i\u003e sheds light on how wildfire impacts our communities and offers wisdom on living with fire from Indigenous Californians, community organizers, mental health care workers, environmentalists, fire analysts, sustainable loggers, parents, and more. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe collection explores the ways these fires take root and impact rural and urban Northern California, it examines our relationships to place and community and to understand the importance of mutual aid, organizing, community care, land stewardship, and resilience. \u003ci\u003eRed Flag Warning\u003c\/i\u003e covers the stories not frequently found in the often disaster-porn obsessed media and exposes what is lost in the news written by parachute journalists. Readers are invited to examine what fire can and does mean to them, what it means for us to reimagine the world, to prepare for the worst, and to examine flames through different lenses. Contributors include Manjula Martin, Hiya Swanhuyser, Zeke Lunder, Lasara Firefox Allen, Margo Robbins, Kailea Loften, Redbird Willie, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDani Burlison\u003c\/b\u003e (she\/her) is the creator\/editor of \u003ci\u003eAll of Me: Stories of Love, Anger and the Female Body\u003c\/i\u003e, and the author of \u003ci\u003eSome Places Worth Leaving\u003c\/i\u003e.
