When wildfires swept through Los Angeles, the city was thrown into turmoil. People urgently sought reliable updates on where to go, which roads were open, and how rapidly the flames spread amidst unprecedented winds. In that moment of uncertainty, Watch Duty became the trusted source of life-saving information for millions.  
 
Join us for an exclusive YPO-only Fireside Chat with John Mills, the founder and CEO of Watch Duty. Unlike traditional emergency alerts, Watch Duty provides real-time, community-driven updates that cut through the noise. John Mills, an experienced tech entrepreneur, understands the stakes firsthand. After witnessing wildfires repeatedly devastate his native Northern California, including threats to his home and property, he recognized the crucial need for improved fire tracking and response. But Mills didn’t just create another app—he pioneered a new approach to crisis communication based on transparency, collaboration, and service. YPOers will learn firsthand how Watch Duty volunteers monitored emergency radio traffic, tracked official reports, and shared vital information with the public during crises. This event aims to inspire YPOers and allows them to ask questions following the discussion.
