Roundtable 1 - Wildfire & Smoke

Roundtable 1
November 1, 2019 - Wildfire & Smoke

The first roundtable in our series brought together 120 community leaders, experts, and practitioners invested in climate and fire resilience efforts in our region. Through keynotes and small table workshops, the event explored the local impacts of fire and smoke on public health, vulnerable populations, working landscapes, natural ecosystems, economy, and infrastructure. It also worked to identify gaps, critical issues, and tensions in need of resolution, before delving into methods for creating a collaborative vision for climate and disaster resilience.
