title: LivHOME's emergency planning pays off during California wildfires.
abstract: Last October, a series of disastrous wildfires struck our southern California region. Over a five-day period, at least 1500 homes were destroyed, and more than 500,000 acres of land burned from Santa Barbara County to the United States-Mexican border. More than 265,000 people were evacuated throughout California, nine people died, and 85 others were injured.
