Are you a recently laid-off federal land management or natural resources employee? We've created an opportunity for you to take a break and recalibrate... AWE Reflect, Reset, Reignite Retreats offer free lodging and flexible, unstructured time for you to rest, recalibrate, and reset on your own terms—whether through quiet reflection, creative work, or meaningful connection. Nestled in the breathtaking Sierra Nevada mountains of California, just 40 minutes west of South Lake Tahoe, the retreat provides a restorative environment for those navigating career transitions or seeking creative renewal. Think of it as like a free AirBnB shared with like-minded people who also need a break—to reflect, reset, and reignite. Stay as long as you need within our scheduling options, immerse yourself in nature, work on your resume, and engage with the retreat activities as much or as little as you choose. Rolling dates in March and April, 2025 | Kyburz, CA Check it out here: https://wildfireresilience.center Limited spots available - apply today! #federalemployee #federalRIF #wildfire #layoff #careertransitions #reflect #retreats #connection (fb)

📋 Kevin McGowan, Director of the Office of Emergency Services for the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office (title at the time of the interview), shared insights several years ago on the behind-the-scenes actions during the Thomas Fire. His account highlights the critical role of emergency services in coordinating responses and protecting communities. 🌟 AWE developed this Thomas Fire project back in 2018 in collaboration with @mysteryranch_mission and Gage Cartographic. It's one fire's story: a collaborative, community-sourced, map-based multimedia exploration of how we experience wildland fire.
