President Trump can now testify to the devastation of the fires to a degree that appears to be indescribable. It is up to the US Senators and the California House delegation to write bills that return the lands to function and helping the citizens realize their lives are not as devastated as the land.

California is both vital to the GDP for the country and the world. It needs the funding to return function to the land and people.

The air quality also has to be addressed in a different way than the air quality Californians enjoy. MASKS that work to protect the elderly and children are vital. All people need masks to filter those large particles that are currently floating in the air in California. Public messaging needs to be immediately issued to alert citizens to wear masks, especially outdoors. The indoor air quality can be in better condition depending on the filtration of the buildings.

MASKS to protect lungs should be expected as a common phenomenon in the public life of all citizens, including on the job if the indoor air quality has been effected by the outdoor particulates.

Stores should carry a stock of these MASKS as soon as possible. 

I thank President Trump for traveling to California to assess the damage. I believe there was a common understanding between the President and Governor Brown and Governor-Elect Gavin Newsom. 

I did not hear any politics said and that is welcome new dynamic that returns respect to the victims and their needs.
