Implementation
Work with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District (Metro Fire), and any other fire department operating within the boundaries of the County to map and identify locations within the County that are newly at risk, or at higher risk, for wildfire hazards as a result of climate change and its impacts. Wildfire hazards may include direct damage to the American River Parkway; structures; electrical transmission, transportation, and communication infrastructure; increased rates of erosion, landslide, and water quality degradation; and ecological disturbance.
Benefits: Mapping and identifying locations that are already at high risk or will be with climate change would assist with the implementation of Measure Fire-02, listed below.
Timeframe: Near term
