Most wildfires start from everyday actions. You can help prevent them:
- Keep a 10ft safe zone around campfires
- Never toss lit cigarettes
- Always follow burn bans & check local rules

📢 San Mateo County's draft Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) is open for public comment. Tell us, what's the biggest hazard risk where you live?

The LHMP identifies our risks from wildfires, flooding, earthquakes, severe weather, other natural hazards, and outlines actions to reduce damage before disasters happen. It also keeps San Mateo County’s 20 cities, unincorporated communities, and special districts eligible for federal hazard mitigation funding.

The LHMP is currently being updated in accordance with the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) 2022 policy revisions. Part of this process includes gathering updated data and community knowledge about local hazards and existing mitigation action plans.

We need input from residents, businesses, and community organizations on how we can prepare for hazard events before they occur. What's missing from the plan? What would you add? TELL US!

- Public comment period: May 15 to June 15
- Read the draft plan and submit feedback: https://t.co/gUskmMNpKv

How is it already June? Happy grilling season to all who celebrate! Remember: always clean the grill before and after each use, keep it outside away from your home, and always keep an eye on it while in use (yes, even during dance breaks). @NFPA's tips: https://t.co/ycgQTg5BL2 #summer #firesafety

STAY OUT OF FIREFIGHTING AIRSPACE.

Aerial firefighting is one of the most dangerous and time-sensitive operations. We must fly low, maneuver through rugged terrain, and make precise drops and communicate in real time to support firefighters on the ground.

All of it STOPS the moment an unauthorized aircraft OR unauthorized drones enter the area because the risk to our crews’ lives is too great.

When a drone or private aircraft is spotted near a wildfire, firefighting aircraft must be grounded until the airspace is confirmed clear.

When our aircraft are grounded, the fire continues to move.

In those lost minutes, the fire grows, threatens additional communities, and reduces our ability to support firefighters on the ground.

If you fly, we can't.

Cooler today! 📉 A deeper marine layer and weaker offshore winds have dropped temperatures across the Bay Area & Central Coast by 4–9°F compared to this time yesterday. 🌫️ #CAwx #BayAreaWX

Whether you buckle up to avoid a ticket or to make it home to your family, that one "click" is the difference between a close call and a tragedy.

Knowing what to do if an earthquake hits is essential, because it’s not a matter of if an earthquake will strike, but when. Do you have a plan in place? 👉🏽Great tips from our friends at @kron4news: https://t.co/Me0Q2EwoRU #earthquake #EarthquakeAwarenessMonth #disasterprep #DropCoverHoldOn

In Loving Memory of Dena Gunning
We are heartbroken to share that our Community Risk & Resiliency Specialist & CERT Program Manager, Dena Gunning, passed away suddenly last week.

Dena’s dedication and drive were unmatched, always showing up with a smile, ready to get to work. Her community connections were far-reaching and genuine. She cared deeply about preparedness and believed that trained and connected residents make our cities stronger and more resilient.

Dena leaves behind a loving husband, Sean, and their two children, Melissa and Michael. To help support the Gunning family during this difficult time, CCFD has established a GoFundMe account: https://t.co/1zYrRFXUEw
and a MealTrain account: https://t.co/8WKOhlB0Cw

🍍🍍Ever wonder why atmospheric rivers providing us with rain this time of the year are sometimes referred to as 'The Pineapple Express'? Much of the moisture fueling the rainfall we get over the next week or so is sourced from the South Pacific near Hawaii #CAwx
