    10:30 - 12 PM Volunteer Activity | 12 - 2 PM Program

    About the Event

    At Verizon, supporting communities means showing up before, during, and after a crisis. Join us as we convene government officials, first responders, and industry leaders to discuss how innovative technologies and strategic partnerships are modernizing wildfire management. Experience live tech demos, participate in a disaster preparedness kit volunteer project, and engage in this important conversation on community resilience. Through technology and collaboration, we can build more resilient communities in California and beyond. Lunch will be served and parking validation will be available.
