Dear Neighbor,
After last year’s devastating wildfires, we find ourselves again battling one of the worst fire seasons on record, resulting in destruction across beautiful northern California. The fires are decimating homes, businesses, and forests. This is heartbreaking and overwhelming, but I want you to know that my staff and I are here to assist. Last week, I sent out a newsletter with updates on the district that included information of a moratorium on insurance cancellations for areas impacted by wildfires. Additionally, I would like to provide you with a quick list of some resources that could be helpful after the fire. It’s important that you know your rights and what protections you have as a property owner. This quick fact sheet can also help you navigate the initial steps after a fire.
