DESCRIPTION: Responsibility for wildfire prevention in California is currently spread across the federal, state, and local levels, leading to fragmented management of forests and grasslands, weak code enforcement, and a lack of community support for mitigation efforts. Wildfire protection districts and other cross-jurisdictional models can significantly increase resilience for communities — and the Bay Area at large. Join SPUR and leaders from the East Bay Wildfire Coalition of Governments, Marin Wildfire Prevention Authority, and the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety for a discussion of subregional governance models and community-wide implementation of risk reduction strategies like Zone Zero in the Bay Area.\n\nSPUR will also share recommendations from its latest report on wildfire governance, highlighting new policies, partnerships, and financing models that are driving the critical shift towards community-scale wildfire resilience to address rising risks and the state’'s insurance availability crisis.\n\nSpeakers:\nSarah Atkinson and Colleen Corrigan, SPUR\nMark Brown, Executive Officer at Marin Wildfire Prevention Authority\nSteve Hawks, Senior Director for Wildfire at the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety - IBHS\nSusan Wengraf, former Berkeley City Councilmember and former Chair of the East Bay Wildfire Coalition of Governments\n\nFor details, click here: https://spur.secure.nonprofitsoapbox.com/component/events/event/495
