Day 2, Rebuild, focuses on the work of many different sectors to rebuilding after wildfire, from public policy and government, to insurance, finance, construction, community volunteer programs, and philanthropy.
How has traditional philanthropy responded in this time of climate disaster, and specifically for wildfire recovery? What’s happening with corporate philanthropy for addressing this pressing need? And how have our panelists done something to look at making change and meeting needs that are right in front of them, and planning for the future? What’s the difference between national and local efforts? Who is contributing $$, and who is getting assistance...and is anyone left behind? How are the needs established, the programs mobilized, the funds distributed? These panelists have done the work and can shed light on how they approach this work, and where they need more assistance to fill pressing needs.

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.
