Wildfire Preparedness Game

On May 25th, I will be organizing a Wildfire Preparedness Game in my hometown: Volcano, CA. The goal of the event is to share preparedness resources and build community resilience in a way that is engaging and fun for all ages. In 2010, I organized an Earthquake Preparedness Game in San Francisco, and have since developed the concept of Disaster Preparedness Gaming. With the unprecedented drought conditions and alarming wildfires last summer, I am determined to apply my passion towards ensuring the safety of my hometown.

The game will take place in Volcano on Sunday May 25th (Memorial Day Weekend) from 4pm – 6pm, and it is free / open to the public. But if you plan to attend, please RSVP to jenny.gottstein AT gmail DOT com so I can plan to bring enough materials!

Activities will include:

  1. Evacuation route map-making
  2. Go Bag assembly relays
  3. Family Feud-style fire safety quizzes
  4. Creative preparedness videos It takes a village to prepare for a fire, and I am actively looking for advice and support.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly with tips, resources, suggestions and questions: jenny.gottstein AT gmail DOT com Also, if there are any individuals who would like to volunteer to make the event run smoothly, please be in contact! The more the merrier.
