El Niño: Are We Prepared?
November 8 @ 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm
“Climate predictability is gone.”
The weather patterns we once counted on no longer hold. What does an El Niño year mean for Napa Valley and the greater California region, and how do we prepare for a climate that no longer follows the historical script? Drew explores the two forces most shaping our future, fire and water: climate change’s role in worsening and more frequent fires, and the strain on our wells and aquifers.
