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
