Released June 26, 2020 as part of the Hot and Dry Podcast Series by Cally Carswell and Collin Haffey, supported by the Southwest Fire Science Consortium.
Catastrophic fires in the Southwest are often a double whammy of fire and floods. The floods that followed the 2011 Las Conchas Fire caused massive erosion, impaired water quality, and threatened several downstream communities.
Cally and Collin talk with members of Cochiti and Santa Clara Pueblos about how the floods and the fire impacted their communities and how they’re using this moment to create hope for the future.
