Forest Fire Prevention Derivatives, CrowdDoing, Volunteer Project Manager
Bobby Fishkin, lead author

In 2018, Sacramento was named the ""the Most Polluted City on Earth"" due to ""smoke from Camp Fire,"" This proposal aims to prevent that from happening again through adopting a systemic approach and collaborating with stakeholders to actively prevent future such events. The insurance industry, along with institutional chief risk officers, have begun to recognize the importance of moving from ""loss compensation to loss prevention.""

CrowdDoing and Project Heather propose launching a prevention derivative with two new stakeholders: (a) contingent payers who pay in proportion to the reduction in risk, and (b) impact investors who finance social innovations in which their return is similarly proportional to the reduction in risk. It will build on existing precedents for contingent contracts involving social- innovation-based risk prevention.

Forest Fire Prevention Derivatives, CrowdDoing, Volunteer Insurance Underwriter
A spectrum of forest fire risk prevention approaches are available: from creative new social innovations to well-established interventions.The forest fire risk prevention derivative would first survey existing forest fire prevention interventions in Greater Sacramento with an eye towards which ones might be suitable to support and expand. It would then review global social innovations that might be relevant to Northern California to determine which to replicate. Entities involved in risk management and risk securitisation, from insurers to reinsurers to retrocessionaires, ought to welcome the chance to share liability proportionally through a commons of prevention innovations. The prevention derivative can expand as more institutions and individuals join as contingent payers and impact investors in order prevent a larger portion of collective risk. Payments by private and public institutions to support prevention derivatives can be in-kind, through services, and/or financial

human-I-T connects low-income individuals and nonprofits to technology, the internet, and digital training. By reusing instead of recycling electronics, our team transforms e-waste into opportunities.

In order to this, human-I-T relies upon volunteers to close the gap between gathering these devices and handing them into the hands of low-income families. In this way, volunteers --whether they are employees, students, or just interested in learning about technology-- are at the core of human-I-T's mission and help up push devices forward.

Volunteers get a tour of our warehouse to see how technology comes in and out. They all perform the following duties:

• Inspect IT inventory assets and will be responsible to wipe data off the hardware
• Help with clean and refurbish computers & monitors
• Dispose of damaged or defective items and e-waste
• Clean, display cases, shelves and aisles and other parts of the facility in order to have a clean environment and maintain sanitary conditions
• Help in carrying and moving goods/palettes to the vehicles

The I-T team is the backbone of human-I-T and volunteers help us quickly move the computers from the warehouse and into a deserving family's home.

Beyond community donation events, we also host free digital literacy training for adult learners looking to master the fundamentals of navigating a computer. This four-part course covers the basics - from operating the device to accessing the internet and maintaining privacy online.

Volunteers help at training as "tutors", who guide students through exercises (e.g. locating job boards, building resumes, managing finances online). No deep technical experience needed, but a background in computer fundamentals is appreciated.

A CASTING CALL FOR NEW BOARD MEMBERS

Tiny Trees makes high-quality early learning accessible for working families by operating outdoor preschool classrooms in our public parks. As the largest outdoor preschool provider in the United States, we currently serve more than 300 children at 9 parks in Seattle and King County. These kids gain the academic and social-emotional skills to thrive in school and life, while reaping the benefits of a nature-rich childhood.

Tiny Trees’ commitment to equity, environmental stewardship, and high-quality early learning is what makes it unique. Our classrooms and our stellar teachers enable children from all backgrounds to reap the benefits of outdoor early education. Our innovative model, utilizing public parks in the community, means that Tiny Trees can open classrooms in neighborhoods where families have not always had access to affordable, high-quality preschool. Currently, 22% of Tiny Trees students speak a language other than English at home and about half receive free or reduced tuition through the Seattle Preschool Program and our philanthropic partners.
