Where Mill Valley stands on wildfire, and what comes next
Mill Valley just lived through a preview: its first pre-empted power shutoff in a few years, and a wildfire within a half mile of downtown. On September 16, Mill Valley Briefing and Sweetwater Music Hall bring together local fire, water and policy experts for a live conversation on what’s actually working, what isn’t, and what’s still ahead.
On stage: Michael Wara of Stanford’s Woods Institute for the Environment on how Mill Valley compares statewide and what it means for insurance; Anne Crealock of the Marin Wildfire Prevention Authority on the fuel break now taking shape around town; Leah Curtis of Southern Marin Fire District on evacuation readiness and what residents still need to do; and Carl Sanders of Marin Water on the prescribed burn program reshaping the hills above Mill Valley.
