All week, NPR is exploring solutions to the climate crisis through the lens of "Rethinking Home" — how our communities can be more resilient to climate change.
On Midday Edition, we highlight ongoing efforts to fireproof our homes through the California Wildfire Mitigation Program. We hear from an expert whose home survived both the Station and Eaton fires in Los Angeles.

We discuss the latest actions on Midday Edition with a representative from a local refugee advocacy group.
Guest:
Homayra Yusufi, senior policy strategist for the Partnership for the Advancement of New Americans (PANA) -
