As Los Angeles County communities recover from devastating wildfires, the recently released Blue Ribbon Commission on Climate Action and Fire-Safe Recovery report offers a bold new roadmap for resilient, equitable, and climate-adaptive rebuilding.

Join this webinar to hear from individuals involved in shaping the Commission’s recommendations, which include proposals for a Resilient Rebuilding Authority and a regional Fire Control District. This discussion will explore how city planners can integrate land use policy, building codes, infrastructure investments, and community engagement to reduce fire risk and build back stronger.
