Program Topic

"After the Fires," will be the topic presented by Eric Strauss and Lisa Fimiani, both from the Center for Urban Resilience (CURes) at Loyola Marymount University.

With the aftermath of the January fires still with us, we are going to examine the impact of fire--and the almost constant threat of fire -- on our region. Eric Strauss is the executive director of the Center for Urban Resilience (CURes) at Loyola Marymount University. He is an expert in urban ecology and studies ways humans and nature can better coexist.

Our co-speaker is Lisa Fimiani, who is The Drollinger Environmental Leadership Fellow with Loyola Marymount University's Center for Urban Resilience (CURes). She will talk about landscaping to lessen the risk of fires. She is a certified Master Gardener and Restoration Specialist.
