Conference Agenda:

Conference Overview:

Since we last convened at the NWPPA Wildfire Workshop in January 2023, the profound threat and costs of fire within our region have continued to grow. We continue to witness escalating wildland fire behavior; increasing risks to utility crews and responders; significant loss of homes and property; dramatic growth in suppression costs; rising post-fire impacts; and continued injuries and loss of lives. With public power on the front lines of the crisis, this conference (consisting of two back-to-back half days) will provide a unique forum for collaborative interaction.

Detailed agenda to follow shortly.

Conference Schedule:

Registration will begin at 11 a.m. Pacific Time, and the class will run from noon to 4:30 p.m. on the first day and 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on the second day. Lunch, as well as morning and afternoon breaks, will be provided.
