From boil-water advisories to direct infrastructure damage, findings underscore the need for equitable and resilient recovery.

The UCLA Luskin Summit 2025 brought experts together to explore pathways to equitable and resilient rebuilding in the wake of the LA Fires.

Funded by UCLA’s Climate & Wildfire Research Initiative and UCANR, the network aims to strengthen preparedness and recovery at the water-fire nexus.

UCLA scholars will provide research-informed options to inform policy recommendations to rebuild, retrofit, and catalyze climate-resiliency investments.

Our experts are available to comment on: 1) water supply and urban water systems; 2) air quality and public health impacts; 3) land use and governance considerations; 4) politics of disaster and response; and 5) climate whiplash and extreme weather.
