Reducing Wildfire Risk, July 22, Online and In Seattle, Washington
Event Description
Wildfires are becoming more frequent, more intense, and more unpredictable across the Pacific Northwest, including here on the west side of the Cascades. Recent events such as the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles highlight that even some urban neighborhoods may not be immune to wildfires.
This educational session brings together expert speakers to outline practical, science‑based strategies for reducing wildfire risk in the wildland–urban interface.
Topics will include:
Whether you’re a builder, Architect, or homeowner, this session will provide actionable guidance to help protect homes and communities as wildfire risks continue to evolve.
Catherine “Cat” Robinson is the Wildfire Mitigation Specialist and Emergency Coordinator for Eastside Fire & Rescue, where she built and now runs the wildfire mitigation program serving communities across eastern King County. She works with cities, neighborhoods, businesses, policymakers, and residents to help communities live more safely with fire, not just fight it.
