Again California’s wet winter created a sizable crop of new grass growth, but don’t let the wet weather fool you as the abundant grass dries. Now is the time to act to prevent wildfires. Governor Gavin Newsom declared May 5-11 “Wildfire Preparedness Week” to urge homeowners that California Wildfires Have Changed, Together We Must Adapt. Already this year, CAL FIRE has responded to more than 470 wildfires that have burned over 1,180 acres. Californian’s need to accept fire as part of our natural landscape, understand the fire risk, and take action before a wildfire starts.

It is up to us, the agencies that respond to the wildfires, and you, the homeowner, to create the strong network needed to endure through these devastating events.” Persistent drought like conditions, warmer temperatures and continued severe winds have created conditions that will lead to more frequent and catastrophic fires. To meet this challenge, California must adopt an all-ofcontinued on page 5
