PNNL

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), in partnership with the Department of Energy’s Grid Deployment Office, invites you to attend a one-day workshop focused on state energy planning for emerging wildfire risk across the North Central region (Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Wisconsin). The workshop is structured to enable open forum discussions and peer-to-peer sharing through breakout sessions and informative presentations from state officials and subject matter experts. This event is designed especially for energy planning officials and regulators, emergency management agencies, land managers, Tribal representatives, and utilities.

During the workshop, you will:

• Share and gather insights on changing and emerging wildfire risks.
• Interact in peer-led exercises on wildfire risk reduction, response, and resiliency strategies.
• Cultivate pathways for continuous regional collaboration with states and other stakeholders, experts, and industry.

Join us to strengthen energy security and regional energy resilience!

Registration will be available soon—check back shortly for updates. For any questions or comments, please contact Irena at irena.netik@pnnl.gov.

This workshop is hosted as part of the Wildfire Risk and Resilience program, an effort by PNNL to transform wildfire science into solutions that protect people, infrastructure, and the environment.
