Day 2 -Wednesday September 21 our Summit centers on the theme of REBUILD and will focus on the many stakeholders involved in a successful post fire rebuild for the community.
The task of planning and managing a rebuild, with the many unknowns involved after a disaster is daunting. All sectors have to get involved and invest in the process. This panel looks at the unique role that local officials – both staff and elected leaders play in the recovery, and how they might partner and collaborate with the broader community to get things restored and more resilient. Panelists shared their your own stories and lessons learned. Moderator Tennis Wick opened up the conversation to take audience questions for the panel as well.

After The Fire USA hosted a three-day conference for networking, knowledge sharing, and capacity building to address the problem of Megafires in the US. The Wildfire Leadership Summit took place at the Hanna Center in Sonoma, California and was built from a coalition of wildfire communities, wildfire recovery and resilience organizations, and local community groups, regional, national partners, funders, and leaders.
