At the start of this year, devastating wildfires burned over 57,000 acres of land in Los Angeles, destroying 18,000 structures and taking 30 lives.

These fires—as shocking and unprecedented as they were—are only becoming more common. Now, as L.A. begins to rebuild and the rest of the world settles in for a future of extreme weather events, the question is: how do we make sure we’re more prepared for the next one?

For a growing group of DIY-ers, the answer lies in SuperAdobe—a form of sustainable earthbag architecture that’s fireproof, earthquake-resistant, and hurricane-proof. The technique itself isn’t new, but it is experiencing newfound interest among climate-concerned homeowners.

Watch the episode to learn how the homes are made, and why they could offer a blueprint for more climate-resilient communities.
