Socio-ecological impacts of the 2025 Los Angeles urban fires on communities, neighborhoods, and homes Socio-ecological impacts of the 2025 Los Angeles urban fires on communities, neighborhoods, and homes
Human settlements are increasingly being impacted by urban fires initiated by wildfires. Metrics such as area burned and number of structures destroyed are important, but research often overlooks the socio-ecological complexity of urban fires. We study the impacts of the 2025 Los Angeles fires on two communities at the neighborhood and residential parcel scales. Geospatial analyses and...
