Free day long workshop on preparing your family, home and neighborhood against the risks of mountain living, from wildfires and earthquakes to accidents and injuries. Sponsored by South Skyline Emergency Preparedness Organization and South Skyline FireSafe Council.

In depth sessions: Practical skills you can use and ideas you can act on, taught by expert practitioners:

What you can do for your home and family

• Home Hardening, Defensible space and the new 0-5 requirements.
• Managing the Biomass in your Defensible Space.
• San Mateo RCD update on La Honda Fuel Break Project
• Home Insurance Update
• Learn and practice simple but effective first aid techniques and what to do when you are first on scene at an accident.

What you can help your neighborhood do: - Don’t worry – we’ll show you how

• Form a Firewise Community – how it helps, what does it take?
• Find the right technologies for communicating with your neighborhood in an emergency from radio to internet - and you'll get to practice as a "neighborhood".
