Two Years After Fire and Flood: A Community Conversation About the Impacts of the Thomas Fire Debris Flow

Two years since the catastrophic incidents in Santa Barbara County, their effects continue to be felt. In addition to the terrible direct impacts of these events on our community, ash from the fire and mud relocated to beaches also affected the health of the Santa Barbara coast and channel.

Join in to hear about the latest ongoing research assessing the extent of these impacts, and what it might tell us about how to improve our response to future disasters.

A series of flash talks by experts in the biological and social sciences will be followed by a moderated panel discussion and Q&A with experts and local policymakers.

This event is brought to you in collaboration by:
UCSB Bren School of Environmental Science and Management, Community Environmental Council, Santa Barbara Foundation, Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, and Santa Barbara Channelkeeper.

The event’s strategic partners include the Christel Bejenke Fund, Bank of America, and Strategic Samurai.
