RESILIENCY PROGRAMS
Rebuilding Resilience: A Hands-on Workshop with Green Architects and Engineers
Saturday April 27, 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, Malibu City Hall
At this free workshop presented by the US Green Building Council and Global Green, homeowners will have a chance to meet one-on-one with experts in the sustainable building field covering topics such as general design and construction, fire resilient design, solar energy, energy efficiency, water efficiency, and fire resilient landscaping/erosion control. After the event, participants will be connected with volunteers via an online portal so they can ask questions as they go through the rebuilding process. RSVP for the workshop on Eventbrite. For more information, contact Shea Cunningham at 310-456-2489 ext. 236 or email SCunningham@malibucity.org.
As part of the City of Malibu’s efforts to offer support and resources to residents impacted by the devastating Woolsey Fire, the Community Services and Environmental Sustainability Departments have created a series of Resiliency Programs throughout the year to help strengthen the community, foster healing, and build a more resilient, sustainable community.
Not all of the rebuilding of Malibu following the Woolsey Fire consists of bricks and concrete. Hearts and minds have to heal as well. The Community Services programs include various workshops about dealing with trauma, incorporating innovative forms of therapy such as art, music, yoga and meditation. They focus on topics ranging from mental health to financial recovery, and are listed on the new dedicated webpage at MalibuCity.org/ResiliencyPrograms. The Environmental Sustainability Department will offer workshops in post-fire rebuilding, sustainability, fire-conscious landscaping and water use.
