Chico State will host a two-day symposium dedicated to making communities more resilient and better adapted to wildfires.

It’s National Brain Injury Awareness Month. A group in Chico says brain injuries impact more people than you might think. Also, Chico State will host a two-day symposium dedicated to making communities more resilient and adaptive to wildfires, and the Red Bluff campsite for the unhoused will close soon.

A guide on how to support children after a disaster was recently created by an assistant professor at Chico State. It’s a result of people not having enough resources about helping children after the 2018 Camp Fire. Also, residents from around the region are showing up on Fridays to picket outside Congressman Doug LaMalfa’s office, and properties in downtown Chico might see a yearly increase in their assessments starting next year.

A letter is being sent to Gov. Gavin Newsom from the Butte County Board of Supervisors. It focuses on recovery needs “from successive catastrophic wildfires” and asks for millions of dollars in state and federal support. Another letter to President Donald Trump was also discussed and put onto the next meeting’s agenda.

The organization hosted a forum last week where several speakers gave presentations on how Chico can grow. Speakers covered housing affordability, infill development, wildfire and more.
