Webinar Series: After the Fires
Lessons from the 2025 Eaton Fire and Palisades Fire, California
More than 1,200 households responded to our survey after the fires. The household centered survey, called the Recovery Efforts by Uniting Individuals, Listening, and Discovery (REBUILD) study, was initiated due to our rapid field reconnaissance investigation and need to provide data to help with recovery decisions. Additional webinars about results led by us and our collaborators about property testing and remediation will be scheduled in the future.
