Sonoma County Hosting Fire Recovery Workshops Underway

SONOMA COUNTY, CA — Sonoma County officials are holding a series of fire recovery community workshops through early August at several locations in the county, including one this evening in Sebastopol. The post-wildfire workshops are intended to get public input on a recovery and resiliency plan to ensure the safety, livelihoods and economic prosperity of county residents.

Attendees will break into small groups to discuss community preparedness and infrastructure, housing, the economy, natural resources and safety net services. The public input will be published and available for fire recovery planning by individuals, organizations and municipalities.

The first workshop occurred Tuesday and another is scheduled for 6-8 p.m. today at the Sebastopol Center for the Arts at 282 S. High St. Other evening workshops will be held at the Petaluma Community Center on July 25, the Finley Community Center in Santa Rosa Aug. 2 and the Veterans Building in Sonoma on Aug. 8.

A date and location for a Spanish language community meeting will be announced soon.
Spanish speaking translators and child care will be available at all of the workshops.
