There is a wonderful program popping up in cities all around the U.S. where mutual aid groups are getting volunteers to donate space and refrigerators in areas to provide access to free meals and ingredients that houseless or food insecure people might not otherwise be able to get. NW Veg wants to find an army of volunteers to help us stock these fridges with meals and ingredients that are dairy/meat/egg free for folks who cannot or choose not to eat foods with those in it. You can stock it with something as simple as vegan cheeses/milks/babyfood/butter/nut butters/bread, etc or depending on the fridge program you're dropping off to you can make a meal and put it in a to-go container for folks to grab.

To sign up and get information on:
-Which fridges are in your area that need re-stocking
-Current rules and restrictions on what can and cannot be donated
-Protocols on how to safely handle/prepare food
-Recipes for fast and simple vegan dishes that the community has requested

Please email danielle@nwveg.org and we can send you all that info and answer any questions you may have.

The Plant Exchange encourages the community to share resources, recycle gardening materials, eliminate unnecessary landfill waste, and promote sustainable gardening practices. We run Adopt-a-Plant Fundraiser Sales each month to re-home plants and to raise operating capital. Neighbors new and old, renters and new homeowners are encouraged to find some new plants to adopt and resupply their gardening tools.
Volunteers will set up, take down, resupply tables, help shoppers, and work behind the scenes to refresh plants. No previous knowledge or experience necessary.

Positive Risk Management/Opportunity Management Literature Reviewer, Wildfire Prevention CrowdDoing


Prevention Derivatives draws upon parametrics to build upstream parametrics. A literature review of parametrics that are relevant to upstream parametrics from the downstream parametric literature could be very helpful.
-Prevention derivatives is driven by the thesis that there is an under-valuation of passive risk (or the cost of inaction) and an under-prioritization of positive risk. Correspondingly for wildfires as an example, there is an under-recognition of the potential shared value upside of preventative action through social innovation and social interventions (such as goats & sheep that prevent wildfires). CrowdDoing.world's aim is to guarantee positive risk through leveraging existing liabilities to allow for the implications of prescriptive analytics to be financed. The under-pricing of passive risk means that liabilities are treated as either costs of doing business or un-predictable risks even for entirely preventable risks. Risk management offices have been too biased towards avoiding taking the wrong risks rather than ensuring that institutions make their own luck by seizing the abundant positive risk opportunities in social innovation. Meanwhile, the bias against positive risk leaves social innovations not to get adopted even if there would be remarkable benefits to all stakeholders if they were adopted

In the framework of Prevention Derivatives, we want to create a predictive machine learning (ML) model that for a given geographical region will estimate likely savings (losses) due-to protection (damages) of stakeholders’ properties, business profits, common health, and regional ecology resulting in applying risk prevention solutions (or doing nothing instead). Goal of these notes is to analyze ML model’s design, offer a potential improvement and to discuss existing approaches for data collection, and training and testing the model. It is important to notice that the model is applied to the entire selected or target region. Therefore, a geographical region R is the smallest unit we apply modeling to.
Data science will be utilized in the following ways:
Explore/Visualize data currently available on Wildfires
Identify trends and patterns in Historical data
Quantify historical losses in dollars based on property destruction, casualties, acres burnt, etc.
Build predictive models to identify areas of high wildfire risk based on factors such as weather, vegetation, topography, etc.
Visualization of Model outcomes
Scenario building (changing input variables and observing impact on outcome)
Tools - R, Python, MATLAB, SQL, PowerPoint
Knowledge or Interest in anyone or more:
Identify papers on Simulation of Wildfires, Catastrophe Modeling
Review and present Technical papers in a way that everyone can understand
Assist in Model development and testing by contributing in finding data and programming
Identify/Collect data relevant to wildfire Impact
Work cross-functionally
Traits:
Mathematically inclined, highly analytical, creative problem solver, can conduct analyses independently or with minimal supervision
