Come by and learn how Firewise can help you in 2026!

You live in one of the most beautiful places on Earth. You also live somewhere that presents some unique but reducible risks.

This is a casual evening to meet the people who live near you — the ones you'll wave to during a power shutoff, flag down when the road's blocked, or text when the sky turns orange and you're not sure if it's "pack the car" time or "just another Tuesday" time.

We'll cover:

What actually worked last year (and what didn't)
New preparedness programs that still keep money in your pocket
The latest on fire insurance — what's changing and what you can do about it
How to communicate when your phone is useless
Wildfire myths that need to be busted
How to plan your local evacuation routes by car and by foot

You'll meet fire chiefs, local contractors who do fire-safe work, your county supervisor, and neighbors you probably should have met by now.

Pizza from Redwood Pizza. Free tickets but grab one so we know how much to order.

Please consider a donation to help us cover the cost of this event.

If you're busy: You'll spend more time this month stuck behind a truck on Highway 9. Come eat pizza, meet the people you'd call if you had to leave at 2am.

If you're skeptical: Good. Bring your questions. We're doing myth-busting specifically because much of what people believe about fire safety is outdated or wrong. The insurance landscape is shifting — find out where things stand.

If you're new to the San Lorenzo Valley: This is the fastest way to understand how this place actually works when something goes sideways.
