Christina Welch still remembers that the wild fire happened in the sky in the range of her 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) in her home in St. Rosa, California.

This was the Tabes fire in 2017 and was the most destructive fire in California history at that time. Ms. Welch’s neighbor woke her in the morning and told her to get out of her property. When Ms. Welch opened the door, the ashes fell from the sky, and there was smoke in the air.

Then, in 2019, the fire of the golden Card forced her parents to evacuate for five days.

This is Ms. Welch’s last effort. At the advice of a friend, she packed her luggage and drove through the whole country to her new hometown: Minsu Dalus.

“This is just the pinnacle of all,” said the 42 -year -old man. “Only so many times, I worry about what will happen every time I fall, if I will lose the house.”

Ms. Welch is one of several people who have left California due to frequent weather in recent years. Even the most destructive wildfire in Los Angeles history this month left California before the death of 25 people.

Just this week, a new, fast -spread wildfire broke out in Los Angeles County in the northwest of the city, forcing tens of thousands of people to evacuate the area where it has suffered. Trump plans to visit Southern California on Friday to see the destruction caused by the fire.

Climate experts said that so far, they have not seen a large -scale immigrants who have left the state due to climate -related events, and it is difficult to estimate the number of people who leave. However, according to the US population census, the state’s population growth rate has continued to decline since 2000.

However, scientists and population experts said that as weather changes have caused weather incidents to become more extreme and unpredictable, the number of people who leave the state may increase, so that some cities that are not prepared are facing the task of welcome new residents.

“There may be this newcomer to say, ‘Do you know? California is not suitable for me, because this is the third time I have closed the door because of extreme smoke and smoke. Smoke,” Derek Fan, a professor of data science at the University of Michigan University, Derek Van Berkel said.

“We must start preparing for these unexpected incidents, because they will become more frequent and more extreme.”

Many climate -related factors may cause Californians to leave their hometown in the next ten years. Scientists said that climate change has led to more frequent wildfire. According to the California Fire Bureau, from 2020 to 2023, wild fire destroyed more than 15,000 buildings in California. The Los Angeles mountain fire that broke out earlier this year has caused at least 12,000 buildings to be destroyed.

The state also faces other impacts of climate change, including floods. According to the Office of the State General Attorney General, by 2100, the rise in sea level may cause 500,000 California residents to fall into floods.

According to the Ministry of Environmental Protection of California, the state has an average of at least two or more earthquakes per year.

As extreme weather becomes more frequent, the state’s house insurance rates have continued to rise. According to the “San Francisco Chronicle” analysis, more than 100,000 California residents have lost house insurance since 2019.

Jeremy Potter, the person in charge of the first street climate, said that data shows that so far, climate immigration is more local phenomenon. A higher place to avoid floods. Make climate risk modeling.

But he said that in recent years, fewer and fewer people have begun to pour to cities outside California, and these cities claim to be potential “climate paradise”.

After the list of Jesse Keenan, a climate adaptation researcher Jesse Keenan, in 2019, a list of places with a low risk of extreme climate events (he calls the “receiving area”) in 2019, some cities and media reports have begun to use This term.

The top of the list is Drus, Minnesota. This former industrial city has about 90,000 people. After years of stagnation, the population has grown slowly since 2020.

One of the attractiveness of the town is that it is close to the five large lakes, and the five large lakes are a series of lakes composed of the world’s largest freshwater body. About 10% of the United States and 30% of Canada are dependent on lakes to provide drinking water.

Mr. Van Berkel said: “In the case of scarce resources, this is a huge asset.”

The water supply of the five major lakes attracted Jamie Beck Alexander and her family to Delus. Ms. Alexander, her husband and two young children were shocked by the three consecutive destructive wildfire seasons in California, so she crowded into a camping car and traveled through the country to Minnesota in 2020.

Ms. Alexander discovered the similarities between this progressive small city and their old town San Francisco.

She said: “There is a truly in -depth connection between people, and it is deeply rooted. I think this is important for climate adaptability.”

Ms. Welch ignored her friends. They thought she moved to a city that was famous for her recorded snowfall and cold weather. It was crazy, with an average of 106 weather temperatures lower than the freezing point per year. She said that the fresh and beautiful mountain city has become her own city.

“Many people here love where they live and want to protect it,” Ms. Welch said when he talked about Delus.

Van Berkel said that although some cities have accepted the title of climate asylum, for smaller local governments, finding resources to plan new residents and climate adaptability is still a challenge.

Mr. Van Berkel cooperated with other cities in Derus and other cities in the five major lakes to formulate climate change plans, including new residents who welcomed the relocation due to climate change.

Delus refused to respond to the BBC’s request to comment on how he prepared how to welcome climate immigrants.

Porter said that there are no large number of immigrants in the five major lake regions and other “climate paradise” cities. But he said that if the situation changes, many people will not be ready.

Mr. Potter said: “You need to invest huge investment in the local community … in order to allow these communities to accommodate the population shown in some climate immigration literature.”

Ms. Alexander said, for example, in Delus, housing supply may be a problem. She said that although the city has space to build new housing, there are currently no sufficient new development projects to meet the needs of the growing population. She said, so in a few years since she moved there, house prices have risen.

Vanberkle said that any new housing and other development projects need to consider climate change.

He said: “When we face climate change, we don’t want to make a high cost mistake to make our infrastructure.”

In 2024, a level 4 Hurricane destroyed more than 2,000 houses and enterprises in North Carolina Ashville Kelsea Lal’s climate -free.

After experiencing a series of devastating wildfire seasons and mudslides near the town of St. Barbara, California, she moved there in 2020 and was attracted by the warm climate, restaurants and music venues in the city.

Before moving, Ms. Lal conducted a wide range of research on the place where the most suitable climate change. Among them, Ashville ranked first in the list due to her mild temperature and inland position, thereby avoiding the flood invasion.

But last year, Hurricane Helen swept the western part of North Carolina, causing more than 100 people in the state to die, and Ms. Lal’s new hometown Ashville was also destroyed. Many people have no electricity for nearly 20 days, and have not been drinking water for more than a month.

Ms. Ral said: “Obviously, southern Abbarachia is not the ‘climate paradise’ that people expect.”

In Dulus, Ms. Alexander said that her family also soon realized that they could not escape climate change.

In their first summer, this town was affected by the same smoke and bad air quality. These smoke and bad air quality forced them to leave Galifer -this time for the Canadian wildfire.

“This is like a very deep joke to me,” she said. “Unless we solve the fundamental cause of (climate change), we always feel that we need to cheer up and take action.”

Since then, she moved to Wisconsin for personal reasons, but said that she did not regret going to Minnesota for the first time. Ms. Ral did not regret moving to Ashville.

Although Ms. Lal often misses the ancient forests of the Jemindi national park in California, she will serve as a park administrator there and spend summer, but she said that it may bring more sacrifice in the future of more climatic disasters.

“I think it is more and more a myth,” she said. “Everyone must evaluate where they live and the risk of leaving there.”
