Helping Disabled People During Disasters | CapRadio Series ‘Rewilding Sacramento’ | Gothic Fairytale Show ‘The Lost One’

How California can prepare disabled people for the next disaster. Also, CapRadio’s new series focusing on Sacramento’s diverse environment and wildlife. Finally, a gothic fairytale show “The Lost One.”

Helping Disabled People During Disasters Evacuating during a disaster is traumatic and stressful. But access to safety depends largely on physical and mental ableness. In recent years, deadly wildfires in Sonoma and Butte counties highlighted this concerning reality. In 2019, a state audit showed that emergency response has struggled to properly assist people with disabilities and limited mobility. But despite knowing these dangers, the deadly wildfires across the Los Angeles area resurfaced this issue. Ana Ibarra is a health reporter for CalMatters and shares her reporting on how California can prepare disabled people for the next disaster. 

CalMatters is a nonprofit newsroom that partners with public media stations across the state.

Gothic Fairytale Show ‘The Lost One’ A new spin on classical-style music is coming to The Sofia in midtown Sacramento this weekend.

Composer Courtney Daniels joins Insight to talk about how The Lost One makes classical music more approachable to today’s audience, and encourages people to break out of their comfort zones.
