SUMMARY:Race the Wave
DESCRIPTION:Race the Wave\nSaturday\, September 13\, 8am-12pm \nAre you ready? If you had to escape a tsunami event in Santa Cruz how long would it take you to run or walk to high ground? Would you know which way to go? Here’s your chance to test yourself and gain some knowledge about tsunamis and their impact on our community. \nBe part of the first race to start on the Santa Cruz Wharf! \nAdults are only $20 and kids 12 and under are $10. This will automatically be calculated at check-out. \nBackground\nRace the Wave combines a functional evacuation exercise\, a community fun run\, and an emergency preparedness fair hosted by the City of Santa Cruz during National Preparedness Month. \nThis event reinforces the City’s commitment to tsunami preparedness and hazard mitigation while highlighting the shared responsibility to protect public infrastructure\, such as the Wharf. \nParticipants will follow an evacuation route from a high-risk coastal location on the Santa Cruz Wharf to higher ground. The race begins on the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf\, follows Pacific Avenue through the downtown area and concludes at Mission Plaza Park\, outside the updated maximum tsunami inundation zone. \nAt the finish line\, an emergency preparedness fair will bring together City departments and community-based organizations to share emergency preparedness information with the community. The fair will focus community attention on the need for 72 hours of personal and household preparedness.

SUMMARY:Composting with Worms Workshop

In this workshop\, we will build a vermicomposting bin together\, discuss best practices for maintaining a bin\, and discuss strategies for reducing wasted food and why it matters. For those ready to start their vermicomposting journey\, we will also offer basic supplies for a “DIY” worm bin tower. \nCastings or “black gold” created from worm composting systems offer a hefty dose of healthy microorganisms and other benefits for your garden and soils. Caring for a worm bin gives you gold for your garden and can contribute to a sense of well-being. \nIf you already have a worm bin that could use some attention\, feel free to sign up and bring your questions and photos! We will have time to discuss and learn from each other as a group. Hope to see you there! \nPre-registration required\, space is limited!

Plus a lengthy Q&A session will be offered (come prepared with all your waste reduction questions!) \nVisitors will see what happens to the 30 to 50 tons of material that Santa Cruzians place into their blue recycle bins every single day. They will learn why it is important to “recycle right” and avoid “wish-cycling.” Visitors will also see a mountain of scrap metal\, learn about the facility’s Household Hazardous Waste Program and see the Food Scrap Pre-Processor Machine. \nPre-registration is required here. No drop-ins. All participants must sign a waiver to go on the tour – a follow up email with more information will be sent once you have registered.
