This week, EEI is convening thought leaders and industry experts for the annual Wildfire Technology Summit in San Diego. Attendees are discussing best practices and opportunities for collaboration, and panelists are showcasing the latest cutting-edge technologies that are being used to mitigate wildfire risk.

“Having really accurate models is important for us, and being extremely granular is key,” said Joaquin Sebastian-Peral from @SDGE during the next session on risk assessment.
