On Monday's day of service, consider working to reduce fire-hazard vegetation in the Oakland Hills. These actions are just one way to help prevent and slow the spread of WUI (wildland -urban-interface) fires like the ones in Los Angeles. oaklandfiresafecouncil.org/park-stewards/


With the horrific fires in L.A., the next BDPNN in-person session on disaster mental health seems timely. Join BDPNN and Susan Snyder at the BFUU church on Thur, January 30 at 6:30 p.m. for Mental Health Preparedness. More info here: bdpnnetwork.org/event/mental-h…


#Berkeley friends: Don't miss important upcoming Disaster Readiness classes here. Great stuff coming in the next month!: berkeleyca.gov/safety-health/…


The wildfire threat in CA is real and ongoing. Berkeley sends love and strength to our southern neighbors.

On the ground in Pacific Palisades and getting briefed by @CAL_FIRE on the #PalisadesFire in Los Angeles. Californians in the affected areas should stay alert and follow evacuation orders from local authorities ➡️ Ready.CA.Gov
