Priority Projects

Through input from Block Captains and Board Members, 10 Priority Projects have been identified:

• Establish an Alert and Warning System 
• Work with the community to identify hazards, risks, mitigation strategies, including evacuation routes. 
• Facilitate construction hardening techniques appropriate for wildfire urban interfaces and seismic retrofits for rebuilding and for existing homes through education and grant programs. 
• Work with private utility providers on solutions related to hardening infrastructure and on coping with destroyed utilities in a disaster, including undergrounding where appropriate and necessary. 
• Help property owners navigate vegetation management opportunities through partnership with Fire Safe Sonoma and similar programs.
• Continue to advocate for substantive changes to insurance regulations.
• Community Awareness strategies we’ve been doing such as the recent mailers on Watershed Protection and Defensible Space. 
• Expedited Permitting for homeowners who are rebuilding
• Enhance the 2-1-1 System 
• Develop a One-Stop Shop Resource Center
