California has always faced wildfires, but in recent years the threat has
grown. Both the Getty Center and the Getty Villa are situated in the Santa
Monica Mountains and surrounded by brushland, making them particularly vulnerable
to the increased fire risk. In October 2019, the eponymous “Getty Fire” roared
through the Santa Monicas near the Getty Center for days. But the Getty staff
were prepared for just such a situation.
In this episode, we hear about the preparation for and response to the Getty Fire from Getty’s director of security Bob Combs; director of facilities Mike Rogers; vice president of communications Lisa Lapin; and chief financial officer and chief operating officer Steve Olsen.
