Wildfire Mitigation & COVID-19 Webinar
April 27, 2020 | Online ::
The COVID-19 pandemic could still be raging when fire season starts. The coronavirus could also fade and return in the fall — right at the most dangerous time for wildfires in the West.
On EUCI’s Wildfire Mitigation & COVID-19 Webinar, utility and industry professionals, wildfire experts, and thought leaders from across the West will inform and engage each other about the challenges of wildfire risk reduction during the Coronavirus pandemic. Utilities and wildfire experts will share their best practices and plans for the upcoming wildfire season and share plans to manage risk.
Register now for this complementary webinar on our interactive online platform for a meaningful discussion of the following topics:
- How are COVID-19 restrictions impacting Wildfire Risk Reduction?
- How are utilities mitigating for the impacts of COVID-19?
- How will wildfire season change due to COVID-19?
