WMF Members' Virtual Event: Responding to the LA Fires
Join us for a virtual presentation and Q&A on WMF’s fire response work across Los Angeles.
date & time
Earlier this year, devastating fires broke out across Southern California, leading to the loss of human life and damaging over 18,000 homes and structures.
In response, World Monuments Fund has partnered with Los Angeles Conservancy and Architectural Resources Group to launch a new project surveying and documenting the damage to heritage sites as the first stage in the restoration and rebuilding process.
Join us for a virtual presentation and Q&A on WMF’s fire response work across Los Angeles, including a look at the mapping already completed; our Crisis Response Program; and what future steps in the recovery efforts can look like for treasured sites.
This event is exclusive to WMF members. Please reach out to membership@wmf.org for more information.
