NORTHRIDGE, CA — On Sunday, October 26 at 3 p.m., survivors of the Aliso Canyon gas blowout, along with community advocates, will host a Town Hall at The Vineyard at Porter Ranch to mark the ten-year anniversary of the nation’s largest methane disaster.

Researchers from UCLA will present findings from a new study linking the 2015 blowout to lasting health effects — including a nearly 50% increase in low birth weights among babies born to women pregnant during the disaster. Residents will also introduce a new tool for tracking and monitoring future leaks.
