We interview Dr. Althea Rizzo, Geological Hazards Program Coordinator, of the Oregon Office of Emergency Management (OEM), about WITHOUT WARNING! WILDFIRE, a comic book produced in partnership between OEM and Dark Horse Comics with the objective to help kids and teens get informed about, and prepared for, wildfires (and other hazards).

WITHOUT WARNING! WILDFIRE is available for free at Dark Horse Digital, the website for the Oregon Office of Emergency Management, and on iOS and Android apps. It’s also available on Kindle, Comixology, Google Play and Apple Books.

The first two comics in the series, Without Warning! Earthquake and Without Warning! Tsunami are available online from the same sources as well.
