  7. After hearing testimony from Ventura County Fire Department Chief Dustin Gardner, Dr. Betsy Connolly, and me, the county Board of Supervisors today voted unanimously to approve supervisor Gorell’s resolution calling for more flexibility on proposed Zone 0 fire regulations.

    The new rules could take effect as soon as January, and could require removal of all vegetation and trees near structures in high-risk areas. The resolution urges the state to take a more flexible and localized approach to wildfire preparedness.

  18. Just watched a trailer for _The Lost Bus_ starring Matthew McConaughey and America Ferrera. I almost started crying. I don’t think I’ll be able to watch the movie because of PTSD. We survived that fire in Paradise in 2018 but lost our house and everything in it. And at the end of the trailer they show the bus literally driving through flames. That happened to us. It melted the antennae off our car. It was terrifying.

    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.

  50. Hawaiian Electric begins installation of weather station network in high-risk areas to strengthen #wildfire response

    The project includes the installation of 52 weather stations on four islands. The weather stations, mounted on Hawaiian Electric utility poles, will provide meteorological data that will help the company to decide whether to activate and deactivate a public safety power shutoff, or PSPS. Under the PSPS program launched July 1, Hawaiian Electric may preemptively shut off power in areas that are at high risk of wildfires during periods of forecast high winds and dry conditions.
