SUMMARY:Berkeley's Changing Ground: Volcanoes\, Landslides\, and the Hayward Fault
DESCRIPTION:Berkeley Path Wanderers present\nBerkeley’s Changing Ground: The Hayward Fault\, Landslides\, and Volcanoes\nAndrew Alden\nStart: Codornices Park Playground\nThe steep residential hills of North Berkeley owe their picturesque qualities to three great geological forces: tectonism (earthquake faulting)\, mass wasting (landslides)\, and volcanism (lava flows). Andrew\, who has a blog that focuses on East Bay geology and is writing a book on the subject\, will take us on a 3.3-mile route with informative stops at Berkeley’s distinctive rock parks. We’ll explore vivid signs of past volcanic activity — thankfully\, no longer a threat! Along the way\, we’ll also encounter evidence of giants in the Earth: large active landslides\, the inexorable Hayward Fault\, and marks left by mammoths during the Ice Age when Berkeley was even more unusual than it is today. Expect stairways and some hilly streets\, which may be slippery with dead leaves.

SUMMARY:"Lessons from the Sonoma Fires: What Can Berkeley Learn"
DESCRIPTION:As tragic as the Napa/Sonoma/Santa Rosa wildfires were\, many areas of the Sonoma Valley were spared due to the low fuel load presence of the vineyards\, and they provide extremely valuable lessons for us. \nThe communities of the East Bay are the closest urban areas to natural areas with the rating of “highest wildfire risk” in the state\, hence the need for learning from the Sonoma Valley about what we can do and what we need to do. \n \nWe will have folks on hand beginning at 6 to answer questions and do some mentoring. \nWe also have some remaining inflatable solar Luci lights available: the Luci Original ($15) and the Luci EMRG ($10).  Please bring cash or check.

SUMMARY:Animal Disaster Preparedness and First Aid
DESCRIPTION:Jenny Wenk has been a Registered Veterinary Technician who worked in both private veterinary clinics and with East Bay Humane Society. She is a volunteer for Berkeley Animal Care Services and is the current Chair of the City’s Personnel Board. She has 3 totally adorable (most of the time) cats (as she describes them). She is a long time CERT volunteer\, so you may know her from all her emergency prep activities. \nHer presentation combines basic disaster prep for our animal companions with some simple first aid; she’ll also give some tips on dealing with wildlife. Her reason for developing this talk: \nWe love these animals. They are members of our families. We saw after Katrina that some people died rather than abandon their dogs or cats. I want to help as many people and animals as possible survive whatever Nature has in store for us. \nWe’ll be at our usual meeting place\, the Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists (BFUU).  \nTime: 6:30 to 8:30 pm at the BFUU Fellowship Hall\, corner of Cedar and Bonita. And per usual\, we will have folks on hand beginning at 6 to answer questions and do some mentoring.

SUMMARY:Disaster Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:One of the most lasting and damaging effects of a disaster is the trauma to one’s mental and emotional health\, for those experiencing the disaster and to first responders. \nPost-disaster mental trauma can be substantial; one study estimates the prevalence of PTSD at 30–40% among direct victims\, 10–20% among rescue workers\, and 5–10% in the general population. \nCome learn about interventions to help disaster victims through a disaster\, including children. Learn how to become a more resilient responder by learning how to manage mental health trauma and PTSD. \nBarbara Morita is a retired Physician Assistant with 32 years of patient care in non-profit Community Health Centers in the East Bay. She brings direct medical disaster response experience to her presentations and weaves real response stories into the reasons for recommendations. Her disaster response experience includes Ground Zero/ World Trade Center\, Superdome/ Hurricane Katrina\, Haiti Earthquake\, Shelter support/ California wildfires\, and Indonesia after the great earthquake/ tsunami. \n\n\n\n[Come at 6pm if you’d like some mentoring!]

DESCRIPTION:BeCERTAINN will be running a repeater radio exercise to practice different disaster communication operating procedures. The aim of the exercise is to have participants from the greater Berkeley area simulate the types of operational procedures that may be required after a major earthquake. For the most up-to-date information on this radio exercise\, and to register\, see the BeCERTAINN event page.  \nBDPNN will be working to expand the exercise to coordinate the community at large to expand the exercise to include those with GMRS radios to “listen” as well as those without any radio experience\, radio skills\, or radio equipment. (See BDPNN’s community organizing event on April 8).

SUMMARY:Ava Energy  /  Practical Strategies for Preparing for a Power Outage
DESCRIPTION:Part 1: Ava Energy\nIf you’re a Berkeley resident\, you’re probably familiar with Ava Energy. They’ve been the source of Berkeley’s renewable energy since 2018. But did you know that they also have a resiliency hub program? The night before Halloween\, we have two representatives coming to talk about Ava Energy. They’ll provide: \n\n\n\nAn overview of Ava Community Energy\, including a brief history of the agency and its community investments \nInformation Ava past and present local programs offered by Ava to drive electrification and renewable energy adoption\nPreview of upcoming solar and storage program with potential to provide backup power during outages\nAn introduction to ‘resilience hubs’\, what they are and what purpose they can serve in the event of a power outage\n\n\n\nAbout Ava Community Energy \nAva is a not-for-profit public agency that provides electricity generation services to residents in Alameda and San Joaquin counties. As a local community choice power supplier (“CCA”)\, Ava is committed to providing its customers with clean\, green electricity at low rates. Ava also reinvests its revenue back into the community through local electrification programs\, clean power projects\, and community organizations. \nJames Cunningham is the Outreach and Engagement Manager for Ava Community Energy. He leads the outreach team’s efforts to strengthen Ava’s presence\, reputation\, and impact in the communities Ava serves via events\, sponsorships\, and community partnerships. Before joining Ava\, James spent 8.5 years at GRID Alternatives\, where he first led the organization’s local Bay Area outreach team before joining GRID’s HQ to support org-wide outreach operations. Prior to that\, he spent 5 years at Sungevity holding various positions within the sales department. James has a B.A. from The Evergreen State College and applies his interdisciplinary education to his work\, which now spans more than 15 years of community-facing functions across nonprofit\, for-profit\, and public sectors. \nShuge Luo works on community outreach\, partnerships\, and sponsorships at Ava. She educates customers about Ava’s electricity service\, programs\, and electrification resources at local events. Shuge is a graduate of UC Berkeley’s Interdisciplinary Studies Field program\, where she studied how art and environmental design help us build a stronger sense of belonging. Shuge loves cooperative movements\, California ecology\, and music. \nPart 2: Electrical Power during an Emergency: a community discussion\nHave you thought about what power resources you’ll need in an emergency? Have you come up with solutions you’d like to share? Come and join the second portion of this session to share and learn from neighbors about how to prepare for a major power outage.

SUMMARY:Quake Swarms!
DESCRIPTION:Starting in late 2025\, the area around San Ramon has experienced hundreds of small earthquakes as part of a quake swarm. Earthquake swarms are unique\, containing many small tremors in a very concentrated area over long time periods of weeks to months. Dr. Amy Williamson\, a seismologist at the UC Berkeley Seismology Laboratory\, will discuss the ongoing earthquake swarm in San Ramon and how these earthquakes are different from other recent earthquakes felt in the Bay Area. As a group\, we will discuss what Berkeley residents can do to take a proactive role in earthquake hazard preparedness.
