El Granada Fire Resiliency Scoping Project
In 2021 Supervisor Horsley allocated $75,000 funding to RCD to provide a basis for longer term resources needed to address wildfires and establish fire resilient forests and communities (RFP).
RCD has selected a consultant, Panorama Environmental, to begin work in December and submit a final report April 30, 2022. Three RCD-convened meetings are planned between the consultant and the partner representatives from CAL FIRE/ County Fire, San Mateo County, and the Midcoast Community Council:
-
to develop understanding of stakeholder concerns, information, and ideas regarding wildfire, including existing metrics, models, and materials that are specific to El Granada and the surrounding area;
-
to present the draft summary of assessment findings and seek feedback; and
-
to present the draft potential actions and seek feedback.
The final product, including the findings, assessment of risks, and suite of actions, will be presented at a community-focused public meeting convened by the RCD and partners, estimated in May 2022 (timeline).
