Today marks the 35th anniversary of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The quake killed 63 people, injured more than 3,500, destroyed the I-880 freeway viaduct in Oakland, dropped a span of the Bay Bridge — closing it for a month – and dramatically transformed the San Francisco waterfront. Since 1989, about $80 billion has been invested in preparing the Bay Area for the next major earthquake, but still more investment and policy change are needed. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gh2tVYSi

Have you registered yet for our Climate Disaster Resilience & Recovery webinar? Thursday, October 31 11:00 am - 12:00 pm https://lnkd.in/gRZr-wbe While California communities face the ongoing and growing threat of #wildfire and other climate-related disasters, the funding landscape for long-term planning, infrastructure improvements, and #capacitybuilding for resilience is unpredictable. Given the imperative of continuing to build #resilience to the impacts of climate change in spite of an uncertain funding future, how can local communities make the most of state and federal #funding to prepare for and respond to #extremeweather events? In this webinar, HORNE Director of Federal and State Programs Geoffrey Ross will discuss the #technicalassistance his agency provides to support local communities in accessing #federalfunding for climate disaster preparedness and recovery. Kirin Kumar, Director for Climate and Disaster Resilience for Northern California Grantmakers, will highlight the ways philanthropy is stepping in to fill in gaps in state and federal funding for climate planning, resilience, and #adaptation. City of Lodi Mayor and The Craig Group Partners, LLC principal Lisa Craig-Hensley and SPUR Hazard Resilience Senior Policy Manager Sarah Atkinson will share case studies from local jurisdictions, and resources available to support #climatedisaster recovery and resilience at the local level. This webinar series is sponsored by AARP California. Register today: https://lnkd.in/gRZr-wbe
