Cal Fire has recognized the Ventura County Fire Protection District as a fire risk reduction community, effective now through July 2028. This is important because (a) VCFPD is the agency responsible for fire prevention and response in Thousand Oaks and (b) recognition brings priority consideration for Cal Fire’s Wildfire Prevention Grants and helps inform wildfire risk ratings.

When power and communications go out, amateur radio keeps working. As a test of emergency response, amateur radio clubs around the country – locally including the Conejo Valley Amateur Radio Club (CVARC) and the Ventura County Amateur Radio Society (VCARS) – hold annual field day exercises. These events are outdoors, completely self-supported, and open to the public. The goal: To make as many contacts (QSOs) with the outside world as possible.
The CVARC event took place in Hidden Valley, and was the largest of its kind in the nation, with 25 radio stations and more than 600 feet of antennas. The VCARS setup at the Reagan Library was nearly as large, with 17 radio stations. Thanks to all who took part – we’ll be depending on you when the next emergency strikes!

Wildfire prevention and preparedness is always top of mind, never more so than now.
Here’s an overview of ongoing efforts by COSCA, the joint powers agency between the city and CRPD, to protect open space and educate residents on risk reduction. We’re also working with other agencies, from the federal to the county level, on additional preparedness and resiliency measures.

Come on out to the Conejo Chinese Cultural Association festival, which runs through 3 pm today at Conejo Creek North Park! Hundreds of residents, maybe more, are enjoying the sunshine and celebrating 50+ years of education about Chinese culture here in the Conejo Valley.

Rather amused to find that the Six Million Dollar Man once made a full on assault on the (old) Thousand Oaks City Hall and its machine gun emplacements. #SixMillionDollarMan #movie #ConejoValley #ThousandOaks #VenturaCounty
