Responsibility for wildfire prevention in California is currently spread across the federal, state, and local levels, leading to fragmented management of forests and grasslands, weak code enforcement, and a lack of community support for mitigation efforts. Wildfire protection districts and other cross-jurisdictional models can significantly increase resilience for communities — and the Bay Area at large. Join SPUR and leaders from the East Bay Wildfire Coalition of Governments, Marin Wildfire Prevention Authority, and the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety for a discussion of subregional governance models and community-wide implementation of risk reduction strategies like Zone Zero in the Bay Area.
