I AM MAYA TRABULSI .

>>> WE BEGIN TONIGHT WITH THE RETURN OF SANTA ANA WINDS, AND YET ANOTHER RED FLAG WARNING.

A BRUSH FIRE BROKE OUT IN THE HALLWAY, PROMPTING ANOTHER RED FLAG WARNING.

THE FIRE BURNED THREE ACRES.

AS KPBS REPORTER ALEXANDER NGUYEN TELLS US, IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE.

STATEMENT AS YOU CAN SEE BEHIND ME, THERE IS A DOZEN OF FIRE ENGINES FOR MULTIPLE AGENCIES ATTACKING THIS FIRE RIGHT HERE.

IT STARTED AT AROUND 1:15 WITH CAL FIRE SUPPORTING CREWS, TWO HELICOPTERS AND TWO AIR TANKERS IN AN ATTEMPT ATTACK AIRPLANE.

LUCKILY, IT STARTED BEHIND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE FIRE CHIEF SAYS, IT IS LUCKY BECAUSE OF THE SANTA ANA CONDITIONS WE'VE HAD TODAY.

>> THAT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.

IT WAS LUCKY THAT OUR FIRST IN ENGINE WAS ABLE TO ESTABLISH LIEUTENANT COMMAND, AND GET AN AGGRESSIVE ATTACK ON THE FIRE INITIALLY.

>> Reporter: THIS FIRE DID PROMPT SEVERAL EVACUATIONS, AND THE CHIEF TOLD ME THAT RESIDENTS WOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE BACK INTO THEIR HOUSE AT AROUND 6:00 TONIGHT.

IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL HOURS FOR THEM TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS DONE AND RESIDENTS CAN SAFELY MOVE BACK IN.

CREWS CAN BE OUT HERE OVERNIGHT TO DO ANY MOP UPS AND PREVENT ANY FLAREUP.

AS YOU CAN SEE, IT IS VERY WINDY RIGHT NOW.

WE HAVE OUR FIFTH BOUT OF SANTA ANA WINDS, CREATING A HIGH FIRE DANGER SITUATION.

ALEXANDER NGUYEN, KPBS NEWS.

>>> AS WE MENTIONED, THE RED FLAG WARNING IS IN EFFECT UNTIL TOMORROW NIGHT.

CAL FIRE HAS BEEN STEPPING UP IN PREPARATION FOR THE WORSE.

>> Reporter: DANGEROUS SANTA ANA WINDS WILL BLOW THROUGH SAN DIEGO'S INLAND VALLEY WITH GUS BETWEEN 60 AND 70 MILES PER HOUR IN SOME AREAS.

SAN DIEGO HAS SEEN LITTLE RAIN IN RECENT MONTHS WITH VEGETATION BONE DRY AND BRITTLE.

THE WINDS COULD SEE THE STRONGEST THE COUNTY HAS SEEN IN RECENT WEEKS.

>> THE CONDITIONS ARE PRESENT FOR STRONG FIRE BEHAVIOR.

>> Reporter: CAPTAIN JOHNSON IS WITH CAL FIRE.

HE SAYS, THE AGENCY HAS MORE THAN 100 PERSONNEL CURRENTLY ASSISTING WITH DEVASTATING FIRES IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY.

THE DEPARTMENT IS BACK IN THE PHYSICIANS BY HAVING LOCAL CREWS WORK OVERTIME.

>> WE STAFFED AN ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING ADDITIONAL FIRE ENGINES, ADDITIONAL HAD CREW PERSONNEL, WE HAVE STAFFED ADDITIONAL WATER TENURES, AS WELL AS THE PATROL UNITS.

>> Reporter: SAN DIEGO GAS AND ELECTRIC HAS STARTED SHUTTING OFF POWER TO SOME HOMES IN HIGH RISK AREAS.

THE UTILITY SAYS, MORE THAN 80,000 CUSTOMERS COULD BE IMPACTED IN THE COMING DAYS.

SCOTT ROCK, KPBS NEWS.

>>> LOS ANGELES COUNTY IS ALSO UNDER A RED FLAG WARNING, THE THIRD THIS MONTH, SOMETHING FIRE OFFICIALS SAY, IS UNPRECEDENTED TO THE REGION.

FIRE OFFICIALS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF CALM WINDS OVER THE WEEKEND AND A CONTAINMENT OF THE DESTRUCTIVE EATON FIRE GROUP TO 20% TODAY, WHILE THE PALISADES FIRE IS 59% CONTAINED.

ALSO, AS OF TODAY, ALL RESIDENTS WE HAVE EVACUATED FROM ALTADENA NEIGHBORHOODS ARE ALLOWED TO RETURN.

>>> LOOKING AHEAD TO TONIGHT, WE WILL DROP DOWN TO LOWS IN THE LOWER 40s ALONG THE COAST, OR AT LEAST AROUND SAN DIEGO.

GUYS, ALTHOUGH WE DO HAVE THAT HIGH, FIRE WEATHER RISK, ESPECIALLY FOR AREAS THAT WE ARE TRACKING DRIER CONDITIONS AND VERY BLUSTERY CONDITIONS.

WE WILL BREAK IT ALL DOWN FOR YOU COMING UP HERE >>> OUR OTHER TOP STORIES AND I, DONALD TRUMP IS NOW OFFICIALLY THE 47th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

BRIAN ABEL IS IN WASHINGTON, D.C., WHERE THE INAUGURATION DAY WAS DIFFERENT THAN THOSE IN RECENT DECADES.

>> I DONALD JOHN TRUMP DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR,-- >> THAT I WILL FAITHFULLY EXECUTE-- >> THAT I WILL FAITHFULLY EXECUTE-- >> THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

>> THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

>> Reporter: WITH THOSE WORDS, PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP RETURNS TO THE NATION'S HIGHEST OFFICE, ONLY THE SECOND PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY TO SERVE TWICE NON-CONSECUTIVELY.

HIS RUNNING MATE, J.D.

VANCE NOW THE 50th VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

THE ICONIC CEREMONY HELD INSIDE THE CAPITOL ROTUNDA, DUE TO DANGEROUSLY COLD CONDITIONS.

>> THE GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA BEGINS RIGHT NOW.

>> Reporter: PRESIDENT TRUMP'S FIRST OFFICIAL SPEECH FAMILIAR, AND NOT EMPOWERED.

>> AS OUR VICTORY SHOWED, THE ENTIRE NATION IS RAPIDLY UNIFIED BEHIND OUR AGENDA.

>> Reporter: AN AGENDA THAT WILL ROLL OUT QUICKLY IN THE HOURS AHEAD.

>> TODAY, I WILL FIND A SERIES OF HISTORIC, EXECUTIVE ORDERS.

FIRST, I WILL DECLARE A NATIONAL EMERGENCY AT OUR SOUTHERN BORDER.

>> Reporter: AMONG THE FESTIVITIES INTO THE EVENING, AN INAUGURATION PARADE, A CELEBRATION INSIDE CAPITAL ONE ARENA WITH SUPPORTERS AND THREE OFFICIAL, INAUGURAL BALLS THIS EVENING.

>> IT IS MY HOPE THAT OUR RECENT RESIDENTIAL ELECTION WILL BE REMEMBERED AS THE GREATEST AND MOST CONSEQUENTIAL ELECTION IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY.

>> Reporter: IN WASHINGTON, BRIAN ABEL, KPBS NEWS.

>>> BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TREATS IMMIGRANTS IS CHANGING WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP'S NEW TERM IN OFFICE.

THE ADMINISTRATION HAS PROMISED TO OVERHAUL THE IMMIGRATION WITH SWEEPING ORDERS, DARTING TODAY WITH DISABLEMENT OF THE CPP ONE ACT.

I AM JOINED BY REPORTER, GUSTAVO THE LEASE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WE MAY SEE.

WELCOME.

>> HI, IT HAS BEEN A VERY BUSY DAY.

>> I AM SURE, YOU HAVE BEEN WALLOWING THE VERY CONTROVERSIAL ASYLUM IF IT HAS STARTED.

WHAT DO YOU SEE HAPPENING HERE?

>> IT ALREADY HAPPENED.

I WOULD SAY THE BIGGEST NEWS TO COME OUT OF TODAY AND IT WAS NOT SOMETHING TRUMP MENTIONED IN THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS.

WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS, IT ENDED.

PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MONTHS TO GET AN APPOINTMENT TO SEEK ASYLUM IN THE U.S. FOUND OUT THIS MORNING THAT NOTE, YOU DON'T GET THAT SHOT ANYMORE.

>> SOME OF TRUMP'S NEW POLICIES ARE GOING INTO EFFECT IN TIJUANA , JUST AS MUCH AS THEY ARE AFFECTING SAN DIEGO.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT HOW PREPARED TIJUANA IS FOR TRUMP 2.0?

>> ACTUALLY, I SPENT LAST FRIDAY IN TIJUANA, TALKING TO FOLKS ABOUT JUST THAT.

WE HAVE THE STORY THAT LETS YOU HEAR DIRECTLY FROM THE PEOPLE MOST IMPACTED BY IT.

>> Reporter: FATHER PAT MURPHY LOVES THIS.

HE ESPECIALLY ENJOYS GIVING VISITORS A TOUR OF THE MINOR SHELTERS IN TIJUANA'S BUENA VISTA NEIGHBORHOOD.

>> THIS IS THE PATIO WHERE PEOPLE HANG OUT.

>> Reporter: FATHER PAT, AS HE IS AFFECTIONATELY KNOWN, HAS LIVED HERE SINCE 2014.

BACK THEN, IT WAS MOSTLY A PLACE FOR DEPORTEES ADJUSTING TO PLACE BACK IN MEXICO.

>> YOU STAY HERE, WE GIVE YOU 45 DAYS, BUT YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING TO GO OUT AND WORK AND WE HELP YOU FIND A JOB.

SOME PEOPLE ACCEPT THAT RIGHT AWAY.

>> Reporter: BUT IN RECENT YEARS, THIS HAS BECOME A PLACE FOR FAMILIES TRYING TO SEEK ASYLUM.

FATHER PAT SAYS, THE SHELTER IS LOUDER, MORE ENERGETIC, AND FULL OF LIFE.

[ SPEAKING NON-ENGLISH ] >> WE START TAKING CARE OF FAMILIES, WE HAVE TO FIND A PLACE FOR THE KIDS.

WE HAVE ACTIVITIES FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO PLAY.

>> Reporter: APART FROM THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE THAT COMES WITH CHILDREN, THINGS ARE CALM, FOR NOW.

THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM FOR FAMILIES, AND FATHER PAT HAS EVEN NOTICED FEWER DEPORTEES SEEKING HELP.

THIS FEELING MAY NOT LAST AFTER TODAY.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS BEGINNING A SECOND TERM, AND HE HAS PROMISED AN UNPRECEDENTED CRACKDOWN ON IMMIGRATION, INCLUDING MASS DEPORTATIONS.

>> IT MEANS FOUR YEARS OF TORTURE.

I JUST CAME FROM THE DOCTOR AND THE VALET IN THE PARKING LOT SAID TO ME, YOU'RE GOING TO BE VERY BUSY.

>> Reporter: FATHER PAT WORRIES THAT TIJUANA IS NOT PREPARED FOR MASS DEPORTATIONS.

MIGRANT SHELTERS ARE UNDERFUNDED AND CITY OFFICIALS HAVE NOT OFFERED ANY DIRECT AID.

>> SO, I EXPECT IF THEY DON'T HELP US, IT IS GOING TO BE PEOPLE ON THE STREETS AND THE WEATHER IS GETTING COLDER, SOME DAY IT IS GOING TO RAIN, IT IS GOING TO BE REALLY BAD.

>> Reporter: IN RECENT WEEKS, OFFICIALS IN TIJUANA ANNOUNCED AMBITIOUS PLANS TO OPEN A SHELTER FOR 10,000 PEOPLE.

TIANA MAYER TIJUANA MAYOR SAYS, IT WILL BE A SPACE WHERE DEPORTEES CAN GET ACCESS TO SOCIAL SERVICES AND JOB TRAINING PROGRAMS.

[ SPEAKING NON-ENGLISH ] BUT AS OF FRIDAY, THE MAYOR STILL HAS NOT DISCLOSED WHERE THE PROPOSED SHELTER WILL BE, OR WHEN IT WOULD OPEN.

AS THOSE PRESENT FOR THE MAYOR SAYS, THE UPDATE WAS POSTPONED UNTIL LATER THIS WEEK.

THIS LACK OF DETAIL, OR EVEN A BASIC TIMELINE DOES NOT INSPIRE CONFIDENCE.

>> THE GOVERNMENT HAS NOT MET WITH THE SHELTERS.

THEY KEEP SAYING THEY HAVE A PLACE FOR 5000, 2000, 3000.

IN THE END, THEY HAVE NOTHING, THEY HAVE US.

>> Reporter: FATHER PAT AND OTHER EXPERTS SAY, DEPORTEES NEED MORE THAN JUST A PROMISE OF SHELTER BEDS.

THEY ARE A VULNERABLE POPULATION IN NEED OF SPECIALIZED SERVICES.

ANNIE LOPEZ IS A TRAINED PSYCHOLOGIST WHO SPECIALIZES IN HELPING DEPORTEES AND MIGRANTS.

HER OFFICE IS DECORATED WITH COLORFUL DRAWINGS OF KIDS WRITING, I LOVE YOU AND MERRY CHRISTMAS.

SHE SAYS, THE TRANSITION IS HARDEST ON DEPORTEES WHO HAVE SPENT DECADES IN THE U.S. [ SPEAKING NON-ENGLISH ] >> Reporter: HELPING THEM READJUST TO LIFE IN MEXICO IS HARD WORK.

FIRST COMES THE MOST PRESSING NEEDS, CLOTHES, FOOD, SHELTER, AND A JOB.

THEN, COMES THE HARD PART, ADDRESSING THE MENTAL TOLL OF DEPORTATION.

MANY ARE SEPARATED FROM FAMILIES AND THEY JUST LOST EVERYTHING FROM THEIR LIFE BACK IN THE U.S.. [ SPEAKING NON-ENGLISH ] >> Reporter: LOPEZ IS ESPECIALLY WORRIED FOR DEPORTED MEN WHO DO NOT HAVE HEALTHY COPING MECHANISMS.

WITHOUT HIS SUPPORT MECHANISM, SHE SAYS, THEY ARE AT HIGH RISK FOR DRUG IN OUR CALL ABUSE.

FATHER PAT SAYS, THE PEOPLE OF TIJUANA WILL HAVE TO STEP UP AS THEY HAVE IN THE PAST.

>> TIJUANA IS VERY HOSPITABLE IN THAT SENSE.

A FEW PEOPLE HERE AND THERE THAT HAVE A LITTLE XENOPHOBIA IN THEIR BLOOD, BUT THEY SHOULD REMEMBER WHERE THEY CAME FROM.

MOST OF TIJUANA IS NOT FROM TIJUANA.

SOME PEOPLE CAME FROM OTHER PARTS OF MEXICO.

THE MIGRANTS WHO ARE HERE HAVE REALLY BUILT THE CITY.

>> THAT IS SOMETHING WE PLAN TO KEEP AN EYE OUT ON, HOW TIJUANA HANDLES MASS DEPORTATIONS.

COMING TOMORROW MORNING, I WILL BE IN TIJUANA, TALKING TO MIGRANTS IMPACTED BY THE LOSS OF CDP-1.

>> WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU TELLING THE STORIES AND OTHERS, KEY.

>>> TODAY, AMERICANS ACROSS THE NATION ARE HONORING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR.

ALLIANCE SAN DIEGO HOSTED ITS 37th ANNUAL ALL PEOPLE CELEBRATION AT THE BALBOA PARK ACTIVITY CENTER.

THE EVENT FEATURED LIVE MUSIC, PERFORMANCES, AND SEVERAL LIVE SPEAKERS.

THIS YEAR'S THEME IS PROTECT DIGNITY.

>> TODAY, ALLIANCE SAN DIEGO IS HOSTING THE ALLIANCE PEOPLE CELEBRATION, THEY TO LIVE AND HONOR THE LEGACY OF DR. REVEREND MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR.

IT IS A GLORIOUS DAY AND A DAY FOR US TO RECOMMIT OURSELVES TO THE WORK THAT HE CALLED US TO DO, WHICH IS TO TREAT EVERYONE WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT, BUILD A BELOVED COMMUNITY WHERE ALL OF US BELONG, CITIZEN AND IMMIGRANT ALIKE, STRAIGHT, QUEER, BLACK, BROWN, WHITE, ALL OF US, LIVING SPACES WHERE ALL OF US FEEL SAFE AND CAN THRIVE.

>> TWO AWARDS WERE GIVEN OUT AT THE EVENT.

ONE, ARMAND HARVEY FOR HIS WORK SUPPORTING FLOODS LAST JANUARY AND THE SOCIAL JUSTICE AWARD AWARDED TO PEDRO RIOS OF THE AMERICAN FRIENDS SERVICE COMMITTEE.

AT THE NATION PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE LEGACY OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR, ONE LOCATION IN OUR CITY HAS A LASTING MEMORIAL TO THE DAY HE CAME TO SPEAK.

KIM KRAMER SHOWS US IN THIS DORY ABOUT SAN DIEGO.

>>> IT IS ONE OF THE HISTORIC MOMENTS IN OUR CITY THAT TOO FEW PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT, I THINK.

WHAT HAPPENED HERE ONE DAY.

IT WAS MAY 29th, 1964, WHEN ONE MAN CAME AND GAVE A SPEECH IN THIS GYMNASIUM.

TO FIND OUT ABOUT IT, JUST LOOK UP THERE.

>> LOOK, WOULD YOU NOTICE IT AT GOLDEN JIM UNIVERSITY, IT IS A PODIUM, BUT NOT UNTIL YOU GET A LITTLE CLOSER THAT YOU REALIZE IT REALLY IS MORE THAN THAT.

THERE IS A VIDEO SCREEN BUILT INTO IT AND PICTURES OF A DAY NOBODY WAS HERE WILL EVER FORGET.

>> I WISH YOU COULD SEE YOURSELF AND LOOK HOW BEAUTIFUL YOU LOOK.

SOMEHOW, THIS IS WHAT MANKIND SHOULD BE AND HOW MANKIND SHOULD LOOK.

>> Reporter: THE SOUND COMES FROM A TINY, HANDHELD SPEAKER, BUT THE WORDS SEEM BIGGER THAN LIFE.

A SAN DIEGO ADDRESS BY DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING ON THAT DAY, IN THIS PLACE, THE ONLY SOUND WAS HIS VOICE AS HE TALKED ABOUT HOW HAPPY HE WAS.

>> TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY OF COMING ONCE MORE TO THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA.

>> Reporter: SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED SINCE THEN, SO MANY EVENTS JUST IN THIS GYM, BUT I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING THAT HAS THE SAME HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE AS THE TIME DR. KING SPOKE HERE OF THE STRUGGLE FOR INTEGRATION IN THE SOUTH, OF THE SUPPORT HE WAS GETTING FROM PEOPLE IN SAN DIEGO AND ELSEWHERE, OF THE MOUNTAIN THAT HAD YET TO BE CLIMBED.

BY THE WAY, RIGHT WHERE THAT PODIUM IS TODAY IS EXACTLY THE SPOT ON WHICH HE STOOD, A MAN WITH A DREAM AND MAYBE SOME FOND MEMORIES ABOUT SAN DIEGO.

>> KEN KRAMER HAS A HALF AN HOUR OF STORIES EVERY WEEK ABOUT SAN DIEGO.

YOU CAN SEE THEM THURSDAY NIGHTS AT 8:00 RIGHT HERE ON KPBS.

>>> RESEARCHERS AT UC SAN DIEGO MAY HAVE CRACKED THE CODE OF REACHING PEOPLE MOST IMPACTED BY TOBACCO USE AND HELPING THEM QUIT.

KPBS REPORTER KATIE HIGHEST AND LOOKED INTO THEIR SURPRISING RESULTS.

>> Reporter: DIAL-IN 211 HEALTH COLORS CONNECT TO LOCAL RESOURCES.

MULTISERVICE PEOPLE IN ECONOMIC HARDSHIP.

THAT POPULATION ALSO SMOKES AT HIGHER RATES.

UCS THE RESEARCHERS THOUGHT, WHY NOT OFFER THAT TOBACCO QUIT LINE SERVICE AT THE END OF'S 211 CALLS?

AND GAVE A $20 GIFT CARD FOR COMPLETING ONE COUNSELING SESSION.

LED THE EFFORT, HE WORRIED PEOPLE CALLING 211 ARE IN CRISIS MODE OVER THINGS LIKE RENT AND ELECTRICITY, AND MIGHT NOT TAKE THE REFERRAL.

>> WAITING SMOKING MIGHT NOT BE HIGH ON THE AGENDA.

>> Reporter: BUT ABOUT 80,000 HAVE SO FAR.

HIS TEAM REFERRED TO PEOPLE BY EIGHT DOCTORS OFFICE.

THEY FIGURED-- >> THEY TEND TO HAVE HEALTH ISSUES.

THEY WILL BE MORE PRIME TO SAY, YEAH, I WILL QUIT SMOKING.

>> Reporter: IT TURNS OUT THE 211 GROUP-- >> THEY WERE TWICE AS LIKELY TO SIGN UP FOR THE SERVICE.

>> Reporter: AND THE 211 GROUP WAS JUST AS LIKELY TO COME BACK FOR A SECOND SESSION, EVEN THOUGH THE INCENTIVE WAS OVER.

THEY QUIT SMOKING AT A SIMILAR RATE.

>> THAT SHOWS, THEY WERE NOT JUST THERE FOR THE MONEY.

THERE WAS SOMETHING INTRINSIC, ALL THEY NEEDED WAS A LITTLE NUDGE TO START THE PROCESS.

>> Reporter: OTHER STATES WILL FOLLOW CALIFORNIA'S LEAD.

>>> THOSE IN ELLIE'S FIRE ZONE CERTAINLY HAD TO WORRY ABOUT THEIR PHYSICAL HEALTH, INCLUDING POOR AIR QUALITY.

THAT IS NOT THE ONLY HEALTH CONCERN.

BRIAN ABEL EXPLAINED THE IMMEDIATE AND POTENTIALLY LONG- TERM EFFECTS OF DISASTERS LIKE WILDFIRES ON MENTAL HEALTH.

>> Reporter: WITH THE DANGER AND DESTRUCTION WILDFIRES CAN BRING, IT IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND THE STRESS PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THEM ARE UNDER.

>> A DISASTER LIKE THIS CAN HAVE HUGE MENTAL HEALTH IMPACTS THAT CAN BE SIGNS OF ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, AND POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER.

>> Reporter: UP TO 40% OF IMPACTED COMMUNITIES CAN SHOW SIGNS OF THESE CLINICAL SYMPTOMS , INCLUDING ANGER, SHOCK, AND SADNESS.

THERE IS THE UNCERTAINTY OF LOSING A HOME, A NEIGHBORHOOD, A NEIGHBOR.

THE STRESS CAN BRING COGNITIVE IMPACTS TOO, MAKING IT HARD TO FOCUS WHEN EVERYTHING AROUND YOU FEELS THREATENING.

>> PEOPLE WILL FEEL VERY DISTRACTED, UNABLE TO PAY ATTENTION TO THEIR DAILY LIFE ACTIVITIES AND THEY WILL ALSO HAVE POOR ABILITY TO MAKE DECISIONS.

>> Reporter: VICTIMS OF A DISASTER AND FIRST RESPONDERS ARE VULNERABLE.

>> FIREFIGHTERS ARE ALL UNDER THE THREAT OF PTS THE AS WELL IN A SITUATION SUCH AS THIS.

THEY HAVE RECEIVED AMOUNT OF RESILIENCY TRAINING, BUT THEY ARE NOT IMMUNE TO THESE MENTAL HEALTH IMPACTS.

>> Reporter: THE MENTAL HEALTH IMPACTS CAN LINGER YEARS AFTER THE SMOKE CLEARS IF THEY AREN'T ADDRESSED.

TALKING WITH A TRAINED PROFESSIONAL CAN BE KEY.

OTHER COPING MECHANISMS LIKE, LISTENING TO MUSIC TO DISTRESS AND DEEP BREATHING EXERCISES CAN HELP COME ALONG WITH VOLUNTEERING, AND TALKING WITH OTHERS GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING.

>> IS COLLECTIVE TRAUMA, WHICH REQUIRES COLLECTIVE HEALING, AND AS SUPPORTING EACH OTHER.

>>> LET'S START YOU OFF WITH YOUR WEATHER HEADLINES, BUT WE NEED TO KNOW AS WE HEAD THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THIS WEEK.

UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE ANOTHER FIRE WEATHER THREAT ON THE WAY, OR REALLY ONGOING AS WE ARE TRACKING CRITICALLY LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY LEVELS.

WE REALLY COULD USE ANOTHER BOOST IN MOISTURE AS WE DID SEE OVER THE PAST WEEKEND.

WE ARE STILL TRACKING THOUGH STRONG SANTA ANNA WINDS, THAT WILL LAST THROUGH TUESDAY, ALTHOUGH WE ARE NOT QUITE DONE WITH THE NORTHEASTERLY FLOW THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE WEEK.

WE WILL HINGE ON THAT IN JUST A BIT.

THERE IS THAT FIRE WEATHER RISK, AND THAT BLOWING DUST RISK AS WELL.

NOW, CONDITIONS ON TAP, YOU CAN SEE THE WEATHER ICONS.

EVEN TONIGHT, WE HAVE WINDY CONDITIONS ON TAP.

OCEANSIDE, HE WILL NOT AMOUNT AT 30.

RAMONA, 42, SAN DIEGO 42.

WE DO HAVE THOSE SANTA ANA WINDS STILL ON TAP HERE, AT LEAST THROUGH TUESDAY.

I WANT TO STEP OFF THE SCREEN WEEKLY, BECAUSE THIS DOES INCLUDE THE NORTHERN, OF COURSE EASTERN SUBURBS OF L.A. , BUT EVEN DOWN THROUGH RIVERSIDE COUNTY AND SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, THAT DOES INCLUDE THE VALLEY, AND THE AREAS EAST OF SAN DIEGO, WHERE WE COULD SEE THAT ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER RISK AND GUSTS AS HIGH AS 60 TO 80 MILES PER HOUR.

STORMS AS HIGH AS 100 MILES PER HOUR.

THERE IS THAT DANGEROUS FIRE RISK EXTREME.

THAT IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL YOU CAN GO ON OUR SCALE.

THIS IS GOING TO BE ERRATIC, VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAVE SEEN, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PALISADES FRYER FIRE BROKE OUT, THE EATON FIRE BROKE OUT.

VERY GUSTY CONDITIONS AND IT WILL BE VERY HARD TO CONTROL ANY FLAMES THAT YOU BREAK OUT AND THOSE CONTAINMENT EFFORTS MAY BE DELAYED TOO, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE WE HAVE SEEN A BOOST IN THOSE CONTAINMENT NUMBERS FOR SOME OF THE ONGOING FIRES.

UNFORTUNATELY, ROLLING BLACKOUTS STILL POSSIBLE AS WELL .

TOMORROW WILL TOP OFF AT 69 IN SAN DIEGO.

OVER TO THE SIDE, 71.

WE HAVE MILDER TEMPERATURES TO GO ALONG WITH THAT FIRE WEATHER RISK.

THOSE WINDS BARRELING OUT OF THE MOUNTAINS CAN CREATE VERY STEAMY AND HOT CONDITIONS THEMSELVES, THAT IS WHAT HELPS FUEL THE FIRES.

HERE FOR THE NEXT FIVE DAYS, STAYING IN THE 70s, LOW 70s WEDNESDAY, 78 BY THURSDAY.

A LITTLE OF A TEMPERATURE ROLLER COASTER, THOUGH.

WE DIVE QUITE A BIT BY THE WEEKEND.

YOU WILL SEE A SIMILAR TREND FURTHER INLAND, WHILE IT WILL BE WINDY, HIGHS WILL CONTINUE TO RISE BACK UP TO 81 THURSDAY, THE 50s BY THE START OF THE WEEKEND.

BIG CHANGES FOR THE MOUNTAINS, WHERE WE ARE TRACKING SHOWERS.

THAT IS THE GOOD NEWS.

WE WILL FINALLY SEE A SHIFT IN THE WEATHER PATTERN.

THIS WILL BE OUR CHANCE TO SEE SOMEWHAT A CHANCE TO BENEFIT THE VERY DRY TERRAIN ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

TEMPERATURE WISE, WE WILL STAY IN THE 70s FOR THE MOST PART AFTER WEDNESDAY.

WE DO DIP BY SATURDAY, AND WILL BE COOLER.

FOR KPBS NEWS, I AM METEOROLOGIST REDONE.

>>> THE POLITICAL CLIMATE IS SHIFTING NOW THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

KPBS VIDEO JOURNALIST MATT YOU BOWLER EXPLORES HOW SAN DIEGO COMEDIANS ARE PREPARING TO RESPOND TO TRUMP'S SECOND TERM.

>> Reporter: POLITICS CAN BE GREAT FOR COMEDIANS.

>> THEY PUT ELECTIONS RIGHT BEFORE THINGS GIVING ONE PURPOSE.

>> Reporter: STAND UP MEDIAN WALTER FORD IS ON THE STAGE AT NATIONAL LAMPOON YELLOW DOOR IN DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO.

HE HAS BEEN MAKING PEOPLE LAUGH FOR NEARLY 10 YEARS NOW.

IN 2020 AND 2021, HE WAS IN THE STREET, USING HIS COMEDY TO PROTEST.

>> I WAS AT ALL OF THEM.

[ LAUGHTER ] I WAS AT ALL OF THEM, BRO.

I WAS HECKLING PROUD BOYS, YOU ARE RIGHT ON THAT.

>> Reporter: POLICE IN RIOT GEAR, PROTESTERS FIGHTING WITH EACH OTHER.

AND FORD CRACKING WISE AS A WAY OF STANDING UP FOR HIS PRINCIPLES.

>> COMEDY, I FEEL LIKE IS ONE OF FEW JUSTICES LEFT ON EARTH.

THROUGH COMEDY, EVEN IF IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS EXTREMELY SERIOUS, LIKE TALKING TO SOME PROUD BOYS, IF I ADD SOME COMEDY INTO IT, YOU ARE GOING TO PAY ATTENTION TO THIS REALLY SERIOUS SITUATION, AND YOU ARE GOING TO LAUGH AT IT.

>> Reporter: THAT WAS DURING PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S FIRST TERM.

FORD SAYS, HIS SECOND TERM MAY BE VERY DIFFERENT.

>> CONSERVATIVE DREAM FOR AMERICA?

IF WE ALLOW THAT, I THINK THERE IS A LOT OF DANGER TO MY PROFESSION, AND PEOPLE THAT DO ANYTHING CLOSE TO MY PROFESSION, AS FAR AS CREATIVITY .

>> WE KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT WHAT TRUMP'S SECOND TERM WILL BE LIKE, GIVEN THAT HE HAS NO FIXED PRINCIPLES, COHERENT BELIEFS, IDEAS, CONSTRUCTIVE SOLUTIONS, PLANS, PROPOSALS, POLICIES, OR VALUES OR THOUGHTS OF ANY KIND.

HE WATCHES TV, AND HE SCREEN POSTS ABOUT WHAT HE JUST SAW ON TV.

HE IS PHYSICALLY AN INTELLECTUAL ROOMBA.

HE GOES IN ONE DIRECTION UNTIL HE BUMPED INTO SOMETHING AND HE GOES INTO THE OTHER DIRECTION.

>> Reporter: THAT WAS SETH MEYERS.

AFTER THAT BIT, TRUMP POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA, THESE ARE NOT ENTERTAINMENT, THEY ARE SIMPLY LYRICAL HITS AND COMCAST SHOULD PAY A BIG PRICE FOR THIS.

>> HE HAS KIND OF MADE THESE PROMISES KIND OF WORRISOME FROM SOMEBODY WHO IS ALREADY OUT THERE.

AND LIKE, AS A COMIC, I THINK OF US AS A GESTURE.

MY JOB IS TO POKE FUN AT THE KING.

>> Reporter: VICTOR IS A COMEDIAN AND PRODUCES COMEDY SHOWS IN SAN DIEGO FOR HIS COMIC , "CACKLE."

>> I AM CURIOUS TO SEE HOW WE EVOLVE IN THE NEXT-- WE WILL KNOW I THINK IN THE NEXT EIGHT MONTHS OR SO.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS, HE IS NOT CENSORING THE COMICS IN HIS SHOWS, BUT SAYS, COMEDY IS RISKY AND SOMETIMES THE JOKE LANDS ME SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T.

>> I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE GET SUPER OFFENDED WHEN YOU GO AFTER TRUMP AND THEY ARE TRUMP SUPPORTERS, AND THEY HAVE BEEN SUPERSENSITIVE ABOUT IT, AND I HAVE SEEN THE OTHER SIDE, TRUMP SUPPORTERS ARE LIKE YOU GOING, THAT IS A GOOD ONE.

>> Reporter: HE DESCRIBES WHAT HE THINKS THE BEST COMEDY IS LIKE.

>> YOU DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THE WICK IS.

>> Reporter: THIS ONE SAYS, COMEDY COULD BE A GREAT WAY TO SAY SOME VERY PROFOUND THINGS.

>> WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SPECTRUM OF HOW ARTISTS ARE ABLE TO ARTICULATE THROUGH HUMOR , FOR EXAMPLE IN THIS CASE, PEOPLE CAN DIGEST THINGS A LITTLE MORE INTENTLY WHEN THEY HEAR IT IN A HUMOROUS WAY.

>> Reporter: BUT SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER COMES WITH ITS OWN SET OF RISKS, ACCORDING TO EPPS.

>> IN OUR COUNTRY, THE DANGER IS, AND THEY MAY NOT KILL YOU LIKE IN OTHER COUNTRIES.

>> YOU'RE AN AMERICAN.

>> HOWEVER, THEY CAN CERTAINLY CUT YOU OFF FINANCIALLY.

THAT, I CALL IT, IN POLITICAL TERMS, WE CALL IT COERCIVE DIPLOMACY.

>> FOUR DEGREES.

>> I DO THINK THERE IS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF CAUTION THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T MESS UP THE CHURCH'S MONEY.

>> Reporter: HOWEVER, THERE THROUGH HIS JOKES, FORD AIMS TO BUILD JUST INSIDE THE COMEDY CLUB.

>> AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE ARE ALL HUMANS, RED, BLACK, WHITE, PURPLE, CONSERVATIVE, LIBERAL, LIBERTARIAN.

AND I FEEL LIKE AT SOME POINT IN TIME COMEDY CAN BE THE MIDDLE GROUND FOR US TO AT LEAST BE ABLE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION.

GIVE YOURSELVES A HAND CLAP FOR BEING ABLE TO COME OUT.
