Citizen's Wildfire Education Academy

The Citizen's Wildfire Education Academy is a seven-part series of recordings organized by the Eastern Sierra Council of Governments (ESCOG) educating the public on wildfires, and how to prepare for it. The goal of these series is reducing the anxiety about wildfire, and addressing and responding to the multitude of questions that residents and visitors have about the topic.
