The Berkeley Activist's Calendar
August 22-29
Worth Noting:
Nearly every commission is on holiday during August and City Council is on recess until mid- September. There may be a few meetings that will pop up at the last minute, but for now, I am preparing this calendar early so I can enjoy some free uncommitted time too.
The last published Wildfire Evacuation Workshop is offered Thursday evening by the Berkeley Fire Department’s Office of Emergency Services. This is worth your time:
Do you know your evacuation zone? https://community.zonehaven.com/
Have you signed up for AC Alerts? https://member.everbridge.net/453003085612570/new
Do you know what kind of mask to wear to evacuate? Answer in the videos
Register in advance for one of the online workshops below
August 26, 6pm-730pm, Online via zoom
Prior to the Wildfire Evacuation Workshop visit the City of Berkeley Wildfire Readiness website: https://www.cityofberkeley.info/wildfire/, watch the five videos (total time 1 hour 20 minutes) and download and fill out your step-by-step fire plan (tool 9 pages).
