Ready Together: Healing Lahaina Film Screening & Go Bag Workshop
September is National Preparedness month - let’s get prepared together with a hands-on climate preparedness workshop with CORE. Join us for a night of community building and resilience, including a screening of the award-winning documentary, Healing Lahaina, and a “pack a go bag” workshop so we can be ready together.
We will have a limited amount of backpacks available for attendees, but encourage you to BYOB (bring your own bag) if you have one at home!
ABOUT HEALING LAHAINA
As the climate crisis continues to exacerbate extreme weather events, it is crucial to know how to be prepared in the event of a climate change fueled disaster. In 2023, disaster struck as Director Laurel Tamayo’s family lost their multigenerational home in the 2023 Lahaina wildfire, the deadliest wildfire in modern US history. Through personal recounts, this documentary paints an intimate portrait of survival, climate change and colonization, and community resilience.
What can we learn from the Aloha Spirit and the rebuilding process of Lahaina in order to heal the communities of Altadena, Pacific Palisades, and Los Angeles at large? Join us in building resilience and taking back control as a community.
