EFRU Speaker Event: Indoor Contamination Levels After Remediation - A Study of Community Test Submissions to EFRU

Wed 11/19, 5:30PM
Dr. Nicole Maccalla will be sharing the latest results on indoor contamination levels after remediation. This will be the community's chance to dig into the findings shared at this month's EFRU press conference and the new post-remediation map on EFRUs webpage. Topics will include how much wildfire debris, asbestos, lead, and other heavy metals are being found in homes after clean up, highlighting the need for comprehensive testing and "Clearance Before Occupancy."

Speaker:
Dr. Maccalla lives in Altadena, California. She was displaced from the Eaton Fire and has recently been able to return home after it was structurally repaired and remediated. She is deeply invested in long-term fire recovery efforts with Eaton Fire Residents United (EFRU), the Eaton Fire Collaborative (EFC), and the Fire-Resilient Bioremediation and Landscape Recovery Consortium. Dr. M. is faculty in the Rossier School of Education at the University of Southern California (USC) and the Director of Evaluation and Improvement for the Southern California Clinical Translational Science Institute (SC CTSI)..
