2022-23 Climate Speaker Series graphic - Wildfire Mitigation - Sara Paul of Watch Duty

Wildfire Mitigation in the Bay Area: What Can Be Done?

Please join us on Wednesday, September 7th at 4pm Pacific time for a presentation and Q&A with Sara Paul of Watch Duty. Sara is a dynamic speaker who will help us to understand the real wildfire risks (to life, property, health, etc.) in the era of accelerating climate disruption. Her talk will include tips for identifying wildfire vulnerabilities in our homes and landscape, evacuation planning, and staying informed as events develop.

This event is part of our 2022-23 Climate Speaker Series brought to you by the League of Women Voters of Piedmont and Piedmont Connect. The series will serve to educate constituents on a range of important topics to improve our understanding of the causes (sometimes surprising), perils (sometimes not fully recognized), and solutions to ongoing environmental pollution and climate disruptions. Learn more about the series here.

When: Wednesday, September 7, 2022 at 4pm PT
Where: Online via Zoom. Register for free to receive an email with the Zoom link.

The second half of the program will be a moderated Q&A session with questions from Zoom participants and YouTube livestream viewers. You will not see the event posted ahead of time on YouTube. It will appear once the program starts at 4pm Pacific Time on September 7th.
