    A wave of wildfires across Southern Europe has so far this year burned more than half a million hectares—an area equivalent to Grand Canyon National Park—far exceeding the area burned by August 2025, the worst year on record. Indeed, since the 1980s, the number of "fire weather" days—scorching, dry, breezy days—has more than doubled across much of the region, exacerbated by climate change. What, then, can be done to avoid more years like 2026?

  2. 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.

  3. Great news for the Santa Monica Mountains, and for wildfire preparedness in our area: The Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy will receive $31.3 million from Prop. 4 funds for watershed improvement, wildfire resilience, chaparral and forest restoration, and workforce development. Job training will target disadvantaged and vulnerable communities.

    The first batch of these funds will be on the SMMC’s Monday night agenda as a grant to @venturacountyfire (h/t former state Sen. Fran Pavley)

  4. Today I signed four more letters stating the city's position on three state bills and a federal funding request by the county. Thousand Oaks is a strong supporter of parks, public safety, and wildfire prevention.
