Community Wildfire Safety Information

Overview

Community Wildfire Safety Information

Background & Context

As you may be aware, the California State Legislature has revised statewide Government Code 51178 directing CalFire and the Office of the State Fire Marshal to identify areas with potential of wildfire events. These identifications are based on consistent statewide criteria including fuel loading, slope, historical fire weather, and wind patterns. The maps of the areas identified by CalFire and the Office of the State Fire Marshal are slated for release in January 2025.

 

While the City of Redlands does not have any influence or consultation over the criteria utilized for these areas identified by state law, this flyer provides resources for our community to navigate this process as well as an overview of our ongoing wildfire safety programs.
