Last month, wildfires swept down from the hills around Los Angeles and blazed through entire city neighborhoods. Neary 17,000 buildings were destroyed, including the home of David Brancaccio.

Brancaccio, the host of Marketplace Morning Report, is one of tens of thousands of people affected, who now face the uncertainty of recovery. What will insurance cover? Who will help clean up debris? Will they ever recover financially? Will their communities ever be the same?

MPR News host Angela Davis talks with Brancaccio about the challenges ahead for him and his neighbors and what it takes to rebuild structures and communities after a massive disaster.  

Guest:
