Here we see how serious people approach the problem of preservation of the record.
When something like this happens, a bevy of experts arises like the flowers in the Spring. They have opinions and they share them. Sometimes, the experts seem to know what they are talking about but not always.
The engineers (I think) have had thoughtful and intelligent criticisms. It turns out that there are all sort of things that can be done to protect houses, say, depending on the likely threat. My word, so many things. Expensive things. It sure would increase the costs of a house, say. In the fire zone, there are all sorts of ways to channel water through pipes around a house.
There have been articles written about what could have been done in Appalachia to mitigate the depredations of Helene. Very interesting but I don't think many up there could afford the costs.
A tough problem. Good for the Getty people. Thrilling, really.
Thank you for sharing with us what a combination of leadership and planning can do.
Heroic!
Thank god the Getty Villa wasn't destroyed.
It may be my favorite place in LA, it contains both beautiful grounds and gardens and a beautiful collection of ancient art.
We would have lost a lot if we'd lost it.
If you've never been, you should get there next time you're in town.
Who knows if it survives the next fire.
I was there years ago when I lived in LA. It was lovely - inside and out. Impressive collection.
