Webinar: Cell Tower Risks 101 - What You Need To Know To Protect Your Community

Featuring Theodora Scarato, MSW, Director of the Wireless & EMF Program at Environmental Health Sciences

Cell towers near homes and schools bring many health, safety, and liability risks. From fire to the fall zone, property value drops and increased RF radiation exposure. Theodora Scarato will cover the key issues that communities need to understand when a cell tower is proposed in their neighborhood.

With the federal government proposing unprecedented rulemakings that would dismantle existing local government safeguards, it’s more critical than ever to understand what’s at stake for local communities and families.

Webinar Date: January 7th, 2026 at 3 pm ET // 12 pm PT
