Webinar: It will happen here again: Reflecting on the LA fires and what it means for Bay Area fire prevention

The recent LA fires are a wakeup call to many about the elevated wildfire risk Californians face. The question is not whether another major wildfire will strike the San Francisco Bay Area in the future, but when. Wildfires are becoming more frequent and intense, and wildfire experts concur we should not be surprised nor caught off guard by their occurrence. This webinar, hosted by the Bill Lane Center for the American West, will be a panel discussion about what the recent fires in LA mean for Bay Area fire prevention and response. The panelists bring decades of experience and reflections on what the Bay Area can do about the inevitability of wildfires in the coming years.
