What are the hazards with living on an active volcano and how can we prepare?

The Mt. Hood Wildfire Partnership created this series to help residents better understand local risks and how to take meaningful steps to prepare. Mountain Science Pub offers approachable science related to the mountain, with real examples and on-the-ground insights—all in a relaxed pub environment.

We have an impressive and informative line up scheduled for this year from the science and technology that goes into Public Safety Power Shutoffs, a deeper look at the wildland fire behavior that leads to structure losses and how to harden are homes against it, to lessons learned from last summer’s destructive Rowena fire.

Join us as we kick of the series on Thursday, January 8th when Jay Wilson from Clackamas County Disaster Management will be discussing the hazards associated with living next to an active volcano.

Cozy Rendezvous Grill in Welches is the host for the Mountain Science Pub series, scheduled on the second Thursday of the month from 6-7:30 PM.

Grab a drink, meet your neighbors, and learn what you can do before the next emergency hits.  Free and open to the public — come to one or come to all! Seating is limited and is on a first come-first serve basis.
