Camp Fire

In collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, or NOAA and other research institutions, UC Berkeley researchers evaluated NOAA’s High-Resolution Rapid Refresh wildfire smoke model, or HRRR-Smoke, that forecasted concentration and movement of smoke during the 2018 Camp Fire.

UC scientists and researchers discussed fire in the wildland-urban interface at the second UC wildfire symposium Wednesday.

PG&E has been allowed to have an electrical monopoly over much of California, proving exactly why private monopolies should not be allowed

UC Berkeley’s Instructional Resilience Task Force held a town hall Tuesday for faculty and staff to discuss campus approaches to events like power outages and poor air quality that could disrupt instruction.

This fear of not only evacuation but of losing one’s home is deeply rooted in many Californians’ lives.

But blaming PG&E for the disruption wildfire season brings to California each year with increasing regularity and strength is, at best, unproductive. Fixing electrical infrastructure is putting a Band-Aid on the much bigger problems of climate change.

In 2018, California wildfires devastated UC Berkeley student communities, and the trail of smoke from the Camp Fire resulted in event cancellations.

A year after California's most devastating wildfire, UC Berkeley is bolstering its wildfire preparedness to ensure campus well-being in the event of another local natural disaster.

The Berkeley Flea Market is set to reopen this month earlier than expected after it was planned to be shutdown in February and March due to financial difficulties.

The "Community United By Service for Kids Toy and School Supply Drive," a donation drive organized by UCPD after the destruction from the Camp Fire, is coming to a close as more than 4,500 donated items are being delivered throughout the local area.
