On May 8 of this year, Grid Forward announced its participation in the Partners in Wildfire Prevention organization. This coalition of organizations from various industries, regions, and sectors works to raise awareness about the growing wildfire crisis and advocated for a coordinated, national response to wildfires. The Coalition’s broad and diverse membership demonstrates how wildfires are truly a national issue and require a national solution.
Partners in Wildfire Prevention wanted to learn more about how the wildfire crisis is impacting the United States (U.S.) energy infrastructure. They spoke with Grid Forward Executive Director and CEO Bryce Yonker to better understand the importance of hardening the energy grid and what they are doing to improve wildfire resilience.
