California’s cycle of relentless heat and drought conditions make wildfires an ever-present risk. In the past five years, we witnessed the most destructive wildfire seasons in California’s history. This serves as a crucial reminder that wildfires can strike anytime. Don’t wait for a disaster to unfold; stay prepared, be ready to evacuate early, and have a 5-minute plan in place for a safe and swift escape.

Join us and CalFire on July 26 at 3:00pm for a webinar from CALFIRE’s Forest Health Research Grant Program.
Kristin Brunk from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology will present on using bioacoustics to monitor bird habitat in Sierra Nevada forest treatments.
Details
Wildfire is expected to become more frequent, bigger, and hotter in the future, and managers in the western dry forests of North America face increasingly critical and time-sensitive tradeoffs when planning forest restoration activities. In this webinar, I will share some of our ongoing FHRP-funded work using passive acoustic monitoring across ~ 22,000 km2 of California’s Sierra Nevada to map avian distributions, understand habitat associations at broad spatial scales, and ultimately provide managers with the information they need to balance the short-term and long-term tradeoffs of forest restoration in the context of changing climate and disturbance regimes. This is a public webinar.
In the event of a fire evacuation, make sure you’re always in the know.
Sign up for emergency alerts on Reverse 9-1-1, CodeRED, and Cal Alerts to receive crucial updates directly to your phone.
Don’t forget to check with your local Office of Emergency Services or Sheriff’s Department for additional information and guidance.
Remember, staying informed is the first step towards keeping yourself and your loved ones out of harm’s way.

May 29, 2023 – CAL FIRE officials report that the town of Paradise knows better than any the devastating effects of an ember-driven wildfire when it 
enters a town.
Resident, Casey Taylor, lost her home in 2018 Camp Fire, the deadliest in California’s history. However, using scientifically proven and demonstrated home hardening and defensible space measures, she is building back with a stronger and more fire resilient home.
Just like Casey, you too can prepare your home and property for wildfire. Small measures can make a big difference that could ultimately save your house in the event of a wildfire.
