This program is designed to support families and communities across Los Angeles in staying prepared and cared for during periods of extreme heat and dry conditions. Through education, hands-on learning, and community participation, it encourages practical ways to protect our homes, health, and well-being.
The event contributes to a broader citywide effort to raise awareness, inspire climate-conscious choices, and strengthen community readiness. By connecting climate understanding with everyday actions, the program helps turn awareness into meaningful, collective care.
Guided by the values of compassion, service, and proactive care upheld by the Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation, this program emphasizes caring for both people and the planet. Through shared learning and hands-on participation, community members are encouraged to look after their families, support neighbors who may need extra care, and come together to build a stronger, more connected community.
The event will combine:
– A short, interactive talk exploring local climate trends and their impact on our daily lives
– Practical guidance on keeping families safe and comfortable during hot and dry seasons
– A hands-on Family Preparedness Kit assembly activity
Through this program, participants will gain practical knowledge, strengthen their understanding of local climate risks, and take part in compassionate action to support community preparedness.
