About this ebook

The Great Displacement by Jake Bittle

Greenville, a mountain village with a population of approximately one thousand residents, nestled in the mountainous wilderness of northeastern California.

On August 4, 2021, an enormous wildfire, one of the largest in US history, breached the valley surrounding the town, devastating three-quarters of its buildings within minutes.
The catastrophe didn't end when the fire was extinguished; it took months for the federal government to provide emergency trailers for the displaced residents.

The summer of the Dixie Fire witnessed a series of climate-related disasters across the US, displacing thousands of people due to storms, fires, and floods.
This serves as a warning of what the next century of climate change might bring to the rest of the country, as one in three Americans has already experienced some form of weather-related disaster.

This book narrates the stories of individuals affected by climate change, who have lost their homes and histories to a crisis that millions more will soon face.
