Fire Prevention & Recovery Event Hosted by Pasadena City Council

Tues, 1/20, 7-8:30pm
In person at Jefferson Elementary Auditorium, 1500 E Villa St, Pasadena, CA 91106 & via
Join the forum to discuss the needs for those with destroyed homes or those displaced due to the fires and what needs to be done to progress the recovery. Share what’s been learned so far, where recovery stands today, and what still needs to change to strengthen fire prevention, disaster recovery, and long-term resilience. EFRU urges members to use this opportunity to 

• Push Pasadena City Council to press the State to fund soil remediation due to contamination caused by the Eaton Fire

• Call for dedicated state funding so uninsured standing-home residents can get contamination testing and health-protective restoration tied to the Eaton Fire

• PUSD schools also need comprehensive contaminant testing, since testing so far has focused only on combustion byproducts and may not have addressed lead and asbestos, which can persist and continue exposing students and teachers.

If contamination remains, the whole community continues to be at risk as toxins can be resuspended, tracked indoors, and reintroduced into daily life long after the fire. .
