This is the full program of the Emmy-Nominated documentary we produced. We made this to give back to our community, first responders and to help our fellow survivors and neighbors bring some good from our tragedy to others around the state, country and world who will someday face disasters of their own.
The program aired on KIXE in December, and it's called A HIGH AND AWFUL PRICE. It's a mini-documentary taken from our interviews with first responders, disaster response officials and the survivors of the Camp Fire, passing on our hard won knowledge to those who may someday face their own disaster.
This was made in connection with Butte County and is meant as a clear, simple explanation of the causes, effects and responses to a disaster as complex, overwhelming and devastating as the Camp Fire–while also communicating the most important lesson: You are not helpless and there is something you can do in the face of danger.
It was made with the help of Sheriff Kory Honea of Butte County, CALFIRE Chiefs David Hawks and John Messina, Director of Butte County Department of Employment and Social Services Shelby Boston, the Chief Administrative Officer of Butte CountyShari McCracken, Emergency Services Officer Cindi Dunsmoor, Retired Disaster Coordinator for the Paradise Unified School District (and PHS Principal after the fire Jeff Marcus) and Executive Director of California Vocations Bob Irvine.
