As we enter wildfire season here in the west, we’re continuing our series on wildfire and wildfire preparedness.  Eden McCall is a journalism and spatial data science student at the University of Oregon.  Bob got connected with Eden as a result of the 2020 Almeda fire in southern Oregon.  Eden had been working on the Fire Story podcast with the university and reached out to Bob to discuss causes and potential solutions for situations like the Almeda fire, which was an urban wildfire.  Join Bob and Eden as they discuss risk communications and how journalism can be used differently than it is now to promote risk mitigation related to wildfires.
