Solano County has contracted SWCA Environmental Consultants to develop the 2023 Solano County Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). A CWPP is used to identify and mitigate wildfire hazards to communities.

Don't forget to join us tomorrow for the Home Hardening webinar. Our speaker will be sharing the results of a study on the Camp Fire that wiped out the City of Paradise, and home hardening is a key takeaway, along with the fact that wildfire preparedness is a community responsibility.

The Green Valley Fire Safe Council, Fire Safe Solano, and Yolo Fire Safe Council are offering this Home Hardening webinar for residents. Home hardening is one of the most important steps a home owner can take to protect their homes from wildfire ignitions. The speaker, Yana Valachovic, is a Forest Advisor with
