Bill overview
This bill aims to improve wildfire safety in California by expanding the definition of ‘fire hazard severity zones’ to include areas impacted by recent wildfires, regardless of their initial severity. It requires the State Fire Marshal to designate ‘post-wildfire safety areas’ in these impacted zones and to share this information with local agencies. The bill also mandates that local governments update their comprehensive plans to address the fire risk in these new safety areas, ensuring consistent fire protection standards are applied.
