May is Wildfire Awareness Month nationwide, with Wildfire Preparedness Week observed from May 1–7. The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services has released a helpful bulletin outlining practical steps you can take to get ready and lower your wildfire risk.
The communities of Crest, Dehesa, Granite Hills, and Harbison Canyon are rated among the most wildfire-prone areas in the entire United States. It's critical residents take proactive steps now to protect families and property. Create and maintain defensible space around your home, clear dry vegetation, and ensure emergency vehicles can access your property. Sign up for emergency alerts through AlertSanDiego.org, and have a clear evacuation plan in place. When the fire comes, preparation can make all the difference. The Crest-Dehesa-Granite Hills-Harbison Canyon Planning Group has made reducing wildfire risk our top policy priority. We continue to advocate for fuel reduction projects, improved evacuation routes, and defensible space to better protect our communities.
