The CAL FIRE fire risk severity maps that were developed subsequent to the 2017 fires have been revised. The new designations may influence the way insurance is written for some of our residents. 

The CAL FIRE - Office of the State Fire Marshal began the regulatory process for the State Responsibility Area (SRA) in December 2022. The CAL FIRE - Office of the State Fire Marshal held 59 public hearings and provided 174 days for public comment. After carefully reviewing more than thirteen hundred comments, adjustments were made to the map, which resulted in just over 123,000 acres receiving an updated designation. The final regulation and map were adopted on January 31, 2024, and will become effective April 1, 2024. 

Details and maps can be accessed on the CAL FIRE site: osfm.fire.ca.gov/FHSZ
