Climate Action and Resiliency

Summary of objective implementation status (achievements or progress over last year; significant delays or issues, etc.)
Phase two of the educational outreach plan focuses on continuing the groundwork that was laid by the creation of the Home Resilience Guide. Printed and digital guidebooks are available in English and Spanish and follow the journey of a home on a path to becoming decarbonized or all-electric and more resilient to wildfire and seismic events. The information in the guidebook was made into a workshop series, Your Energy Efficient and Resilient Home. The series was launched in September 2023 with six workshops scheduled at libraries in Cloverdale, Sonoma, Roseland, Santa Rosa, and Rohnert Park. Workshops will continue in January 2024 through spring in Santa Rosa, Windsor, Healdsburg, Roseland, and Guerneville. In addition, the quarterly webinar series continues to be extremely well attended. The topics for the hour-long webinars include subject matter based on the Home Resilience Guide.

In-person workshops, webinars, event tabling, and an induction cooking expo will all continue through 2024.
