 Grandmothers Santa Barbara\, and the Community Environmental Council on Tu
 esday\, August 15\, from 5:00 - 7:00 PM. \n\nExtreme heat events are incr
 easing in the United States and the rest of the world. The UN Secretary Ge
 neral\, Antonio Guterres\, shared his deep concern over increasingly inten
 se and frequent heat waves by warning the public that\, "The era of global
  warming has ended\, the era of global boiling has arrived." It is crucial
  now more than ever to stay informed about extreme heat and learn how to s
 tay cool during these extreme events.\n\nThe forum will be offered in pers
 on (at our new Environmental Hub in downtown Santa Barbara) and live strea
 med via Zoom. Space is limited for the in-person option and an RSVP is req
 uired to attend (both in person and via Zoom).\n\nAbout this Forum\n\nDr.
