I just wanted to express my thanks since I’ve been getting a lot of use from this site- I also thought you might enjoy hearing about how we’ve been using it.

Our mentoring program does a fun summer camp called Citizen STEM where kids learn about environmental issues & how they can get involved. Right now we’re learning about wildfires while keeping up on current events since they are happening not too far from us.

One of our attendees in particular has been super helpful since he’s a self-proclaimed “weather geek” and reads a lot about atmospheric science; superstar seventh-grader Noah!

Noah wanted to do some extra research so I was helping him use the computer which is how we found you here: FruitlandFireFair -> What Can I Do to Prepare ..it was tough finding sites that I felt comfortable letting him use on his own so thanks! Plus you gave us some good talking points for the group. To return the favor I thought we could share some of his other favorites like this wildfire guide with safety/prep info- https://www.homeadvisor.com/r/wildfire-facts-and-safety/. We thought it would be a good contribution to your page.

I’d love to show the gang how he’s already getting involved as a citizen scientist! He also recommends an app called Wildfire Info- we’ll let you know if we find any more good ones.
