Q1
CAL FIRE has released an update to the CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zones and has asked the County of Mendocino Office of Emergency Services to seek public comment on the proposed updated map. These zones are critical for determining risk and informing mitigation efforts within our community and local jurisdictions are required to adopt these zones by ordinance. We encourage all residents to review the map and provide feedback. Please note that local jurisdictions are only allowed to increase the severity of these zones, they will NOT be able to decrease them. Your input will help ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of these designations. Access the map by clicking the link:

This makes it super hard for home-owners to get insurance, even in areas with much, MUCHlower risk than the inland areas. 1/3

This is science not panic. Look at the rainfall, fog days and dew points all year long. The map, a catch all approach, will hand this fog belt to the cancel happy insurance companies.
