Town Hall (Zoom) "Get Ready for Wildfire Season"

This Town Hall will help you prepare your family, home and neighborhood for wildland fires and for all other hazards, such as earthquakes and power failures. The more prepared we are
as a community, the better we’ll be able to respond to a catastrophic fire or other disaster in our area.

California has experienced a dramatic rise in both the number and severity of wildland fires. These fires have ravaged wildland-urban interface areas taking lives, destroying homes and obliterating infrastructure. Twelve of the 20 largest fires in California’s recorded history have burned in the last five years and 15 of California’s most
destructive wildfires have occurred since 2015.

Presenters include:
· Chief Ben Alldritt;  Lafayette Police Department
· Deputy Fire Chief Aaron McAlister;  Contra Costa Fire Protection District
· Briana Taylor - Bay Area Red Cross
· John Cornell; Emergency Preparedness Analyst-Lafayette Police Department
· Moderator; Wei-Tai Kwok; Lafayette City Councilmember
This distinguished panel will each give an overview and will then answer questions.  There will be a second Wildfire Town Hall on Thursday, August 25th at 6:00pm.

For additional information prior to the event email Cathy Surges-Moscato at csurges@ci.lafayette.ca.us

Unveiling of Memorial Plaque Honoring Ashley Dias

A memorial plaque honoring the late Ashley Dias will be dedicated on Friday, September 2 at 7:00 p.m. at Lafayette Plaza (corner of Plaza Way and Golden Gate Way in downtown Lafayette).
The cast brass plaque honors Ashley Dias who died after being struck by a vehicle while performing his duties as a crossing guard in front of Stanley Middle School last year. The Dias family had suggested the plaque to the City to honor Ashley and serve as a reminder to “Please Slow Down” and keep our community safe. Working with the Dias family, the City selected the planter between the Wayside Inn and the Park Theater as the location for the plaque.
The public is welcome to attend the event. Light refreshments will be served.

When:
