The California dream comes with more than its fair share of disasters — earthquakes, wildfires, fire tornadoes, eroding coasts, and so much more. The L.A. Times has a disasters unit to cover them, and our reporters are some of the best in the business. So we invited three of them — Rong-Gong Lin II, Rosanna Xia, and Alex Wigglesworth — to talk about how to prepare for the unpreparable. Think of this as a regular monthly series about calamities, with our Masters of Disasters as your guides.
Crippled pipeline restarts, but it will take days to get back to normal. President Biden signs cyber security executive order. High chemical levels in breast milk. CBS News Correspondent Steve Kathan has today's World News Roundup.

Erik Chelstad is a child of both coasts. In his life, he spent a lot of time skiing, and carried that activity into his adult life. Funny enough though, he is actually a better boarder than skier. He volunteers with the local avalanche centers, and climbs mountains where he lives - which is the Pacific Northwest, near Mt. Ranier. In his words, climbing gives him ample time to think.
He's married, and just moved into a house outside of the city. He has found a new hobby in being a home owner, which he says as a new platform to play with - cameras, sensors, sprinkler systems - etch. They have a dog, and if they are lucky enough to have kids one day, Erik hopes it will be easier than having a dog... and, that the kids won't bite him.
In a prior venture, Erik was the owner of bakeries. In developing certain channels for distribution, he ran into a problem where he didn't have visibility to his product at places he didn't control. He figured out the answer was cell phones, and a centralized location for entities to consume this information.
