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?

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.

This week I signed another batch of letters on the city's behalf in support of or opposition to state bills now under consideration in Sacramento. Although the issues can be complex, the decision process is pretty simple: If a bill would improve the safety and well-being of Thousand Oaks residents and businesses, the city supports it.
