We have arrived at this present emergency due to: fire exclusion forest management policies that have created overgrown and overcrowded forests Unresilient landscapes to fire, drought, insect and disease Legacy of a historic drought Why?

    Wildfire Events and Utility Responses in California Joseph Merrill, Emergency Response Staff July 24, 2020 Overview I. Presentation: Wildfire Events and Utility Responses in California • Major Wildfires in 2007 and 2017-2019 • Electricity System Causes and Utility Responses • Public Safety Power Shutoffs II. Reference Slides: California’s Transmission Planning Process • California Independent System Operator • California Public Utilities Commission • California Energy Commission 2 Extreme Wind-Driven Fire “In October 2007, Santa Ana winds swept across Southern California and caused dozens of wildfires. The conflagration burned 780 square miles, killed 17 people, and destroyed thousands of homes and buildings. Hundreds of thousands of people were evacuated at the height of the fires. Transportation was disrupted over a large area for several days, including many road closures. Portions of the electric power network, public communication systems, and community water sources were destroyed.” California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Decision 12-04-024 April 19, 2012 3 2007: Rice and Guejito/Witch Fires Destructive Fires occur in San Diego County Rice Fire (9,472 acres) • Caused by SDG&E lines not adequately distanced from vegetation • One of the most destructive CA fires of 2007, destroying 248 structures Guejito and Witch Fires (197,990 acres) • Caused by dead tree limb falling on SDG&E infrastructure and delay in de-energizing power line • Most destructive CA fire of 2007, killing 2 people and destroying 1141 homes 4 5 6 SDG&E Response

  • Now It's 'Healthy Air Living' Air District Launches New, More Aggressive Educational Effort
    Fresno Bee editorial, Tuesday, June 24, 2008: Now it's 'Healthy Air Living' Air district launches new, more aggressive educational effort. Spare the Air days have had their day. Now it's time for Healthy Air Living. The Valley air district is about to embark on a new, more aggressive effort to get residents to make the sort of lifestyle changes we must have in order to have cleaner air to breathe. The new program will kick off with Healthy Air Living Week, July 7-13. It's not that Spare the Air was a failure. That program did a great deal to create awareness of the scope and difficulty involved in cleaning the Valley's polluted air. But it was, in the words of the air district's director, "episodic" in nature, tied to the very worst air days in the region. Healthy Air Living, by contrast, will seek to promote changes in everyday behavior. It's major goals: Reduce the number of vehicle miles traveled through the Valley each day. The district will issue a challenge to Valley residents, business and other organizations to "Commute green in the San Joaquin," by encouraging the use of mass transit, car and van pools and greater reliance on bicycles, electric scooters, walking and telecommuting. Reduce emissions from equipment and other operations. Reduce emissions when air quality is poor. An example might be shifting employee schedules so more work is performed in the early morning and evening, when the air quality is better, and reducing activity when pollution peaks. Encourage more use of alternative fuels and equipment, raise energy efficiency.

The survey captures a material portion of the Bermuda general insurance market and also includes non-commercial classes such as Special Purpose Insurers (SPIs). Survey results show that the Bermuda insurance market1 has been a material contributor to the recent wildfire and typhoon insurance losses incurred in California and Japan, respectively. The Bermuda market incurred $9.2 billion gross claims ($5.1 billion net) in the last three years of the wildfire losses in California and $9.6 billion

  • Scott Mclean: from the CAL FIRE Information Center, I'm Scott Mclean with the CAL FIRE Report for Monday, September 9, 2019. L
    Scott McLean: From the CAL FIRE Information Center, I’m Scott McLean with the CAL FIRE Report for Monday, September 9, 2019. Last week, fire activity kicked into high gear starting with another round of dry lightning across much of the north early in the week, and continuing into the weekend with some high winds and very low humidity. In all, 361 new wildfires sparked in the last week in California, of which 239 were in CAL FIRE’s jurisdiction. You can see that our yearly acreage stats took a significant jump as well, with 47,847 acres now burned across CAL FIRE’s jurisdiction this year, for a grand total of 128,750 acres across all jurisdictions. Switching over to our statewide fire map, you can see that as of today, firefighters are currently battling 18 significant wildfires from San Diego County all the way north to Siskiyou County. A good portion of those were sparked by that lightning that I mentioned earlier, especially those up north and in the higher elevations. Let’s zoom in for a closer look at a few of the larger significant fires. We’ll start in Tehama County with the Red Bank Fire. That fire started on Thursday afternoon in a very remote location West of Red Bluff, making firefighter access very difficult. With more on the Red Bank Fire, Deputy Ops Chief Jarrod Clinkenbeard prepared this video with the latest. Jarrod Clinkenbeard: Hello, I’m Jarrod Clinkenbeard, Deputy Operations, CAL FIRE Incident Management Team 5. Today’s situational update for the Red Bank Incident for Monday, November 9.
