Get Ready for El Niño 2026

This is the current list of Winter Storm Town Hall Meetings. Also, at the last one for Big Sur, Kate Daniels indicated that Don Lindsey, CGS, of WERT for the Timber and Plaskett Fires woiuld do a separate presentation. His data contribution is invaluable and as soon as it is arranged, I will let you know. Also, below this MoCo graphic is a link to a Big Sur specific map that you might find useful regarding flood and debris flow risks.
