About the Webinar

We know wildfires are getting more destructive in California every year. A single wildfire disaster, such as the 17-day Camp Fire in 2018, can impact communities for years afterward and cause billions in damage. As we continue to build close-quarters structures and infrastructure across the state, it is tempting to believe that wildfire disasters are the inevitable cost of living and doing business in California.

But what if there was a practical solution local governments could implement to put a dent in this trend? Better yet, what if there were several solutions, based on the latest fire science?

The Institute for Local Government (ILG) and our partners at Renne Public Law Group (RPLG) invite you to join us for this introductory webinar in our “Advanced Wildfire Risk Reduction” series. You will learn from Jon Holtzman and Dave Winnacker, part of the Advanced Wildfire Risk Reduction service — a combined offering of RPLG and their non-attorney division, Renne Public Management Group (RPMG). They will explain the “five ingredients” of large-scale fire loss and identify the framework for better protecting your community from wildfires.

In the remaining webinars of this series, we will dig deeper into actionable, proactive solutions for communities of any size to reduce their wildfire risk.

Speakers

• Jonathan Holtzman – Founding Partner, Renne Public Law Group

Moderated by Melissa Kuehne, Director of Enterprise Programs and Special Projects, Institute for Local Government.
