Bonny Doon residents attended a Community Fire Preparedness and Resilience Fair to learn about wildfire safety, insurance, and home hardening. Key takeaways include: - CalFire now staffs year-round due to extended fire seasons.
- New Zone 0 regulations require a 5-foot ember-resistant perimeter around structures. - Santa Cruz County has over 130 Firewise communities, the second-highest in the U.S.
- The Long Term Recovery Group offers resources for disaster recovery and PG&E investment input. The fair aimed to demonstrate community efforts to insurers, potentially lowering premiums.
