Read MoreNew Bay Area Fire-Hazard Maps: Is Your City Among Those Seeing Striking Increases? ‘Zone 0’ Regulations Coming for Highest-Severity Level
On the heels of former Mayor John McCauley and a number of figures within Mill Valley and beyond concerned about fire danger as city and county officials seeks to build more housing, word came this week about new Bay Area fire-hazard maps, with the obvious question being: Is your city among those seeing striking increases? Cal Fire’s Fire Hazard Severity maps for local jurisdictions, issued in 2011, are being updated, with Bay Area maps released Monday. While the old maps showed only areas deemed “very high” hazard, the new ones show that category, with “high” and “moderate” below it. Homeowners who live in areas now deemed at very high hazard on the maps will have to comply with “Zone 0” regulations expected to take effect at the start of next year that include a mandated five-foot zone around every house free of flammable materials vulnerable to flying embers.

Trump and his minions will not be able to dictate how individual states and private enterprise promote diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives or tell California how to disburse its scarce water. Likewise, progressive Democrats will need to forgo forcing politically correct initiatives on “red” states or land management on rural bastions.
