Budget Request Summary The Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) requests $2,782,000 in budget year and $3,414,000 annually thereafter to support 21.5 permanent positions for dedicated staffing resources and department infrastructure to provide emergency debris removal services upon request from the Governor's Office of Emergency Services. The positions will provide disaster recovery and debris removal technical support, guidance, and training to state and local government to increase their resiliency and reduce or eliminate the dependence on direct state support for debris removal and recovery. Debris management is complicated and challenging for local jurisdictions (i.e. counties, cities, special districts, and tribal governments) and state agencies already affected by a disaster because of the need for adequate, available, and timely resources and personnel who can conduct critical activities, such as: • Debris management planning and preparedness; • Contract preparation, procurement, and management; and • Management of debris removal operations, including waste characterization, volume reduction, segregation, handling, recycling, and disposal. The requested positions would be used to formally establish a team to respond to local government requests for technical assistance, provide guidance when developing disaster recovery plans, and support CalRecycle's response to emergency mission tasking for state-operated disaster debris removal programs. Consistent with the State of California Emergency Plan (Plan) and following a Governor's declared State of Emergency and an assistance request from a local government, the Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) has requested assistance for debris removal services from CalRecycle with increasing frequency over the past 12 years (Table 1). To date, CalRecycle has provided: technical expertise; engineering support; contract management; legal; administrative; fiscal and budgetary services to 22 disaster debris removal operations in California. CalRecycle employees at the staff, management, and executive levels are frequently redirected from their regular duties to assist with providing public outreach and community engagement, technical expertise, engineering support, contract management, legal, fiscal and budgetary, and administrative services to debris removal operations. This has resulted in work related to CalRecycle's other mission critical activities not being addressed in a timely fashion as a result of staff redirection to support these high priority disasters. Additionally, the lack of infrastructure within the department to manage these operations has led to a lack of strong oversight in implementing debris removal operations. This lack of oversight includes work in the field providing support to local communities, state and federal entities, and within the department itself. The frequency and magnitude of wildfires and other disasters in California are increasing, as are related disaster cieanup and debris removal operations.

  • Fire Risk on the Centennial Specific Plan Project Site
    December 6, 2018 Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors 856 Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration 500 W. Temple Street Los Angeles CA, 90012 Submitted electronically to: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] CC: [email protected], [email protected] Clarification of Fire Risk on the Centennial Specific Plan Project Site Dear Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, Thank you very much for the continued opportunity to provide input on the Centennial Specific Plan (“Centennial”). As an organization, the California Native Plant Society (“CNPS”) is very concerned with the potential impacts of Centennial. CNPS has detailed the reasons why we oppose Centennial in numerous comment letters that focus on the project’s unacceptable impacts to irreplaceable grassland habitats, lack of appropriate mitigation, inappropriate use of Cap-and-Trade, and other issues. One issue that continues to be a major concern to CNPS members and the general public is that the Centennial project site is a dangerous place to build a new city for nearly 60,000 people. Chief among our concerns are the facts that project site is designated by CalFire as a High or Very High Fire Severity Zone (see Attachment 1), and that Centennial would be built on/adjacent to California’s two largest earthquake faults, the Garlock and San Andreas (see Attachment 2). The issue of greenlighting large development projects in areas with high fire danger should be a primary concern to decision-makers. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors should regard wildfire as a major liability in their pending decision on Centennial.

After a wildfire there is a Housing growth window of opportunity for residents and public agencies to re-shape patterns of development, and avoid Wildland urban interface development in locations that are inherently at higher risk of wildfire destruction. We examined 28 of the most Policy destructive wildfiresin California, the state where most buildings are destroyed by wildfires,to evaluate whether Planning locations of rebuilt and newly constructed buildings were adaptive (i.e., if building occurred in lower risk areas). In total, these fires burned 7,075 buildings from 1970 to 2009. We found minimal evidence for adaptation both in the number and placement of buildings post-fire.

ISBN: 9781797668697 Author’s Social Media Sites: You Tube: Aplanetruth3 & (4) WellHealed2 Websites: Aplanetruth.info; Tabublog.com; Wellhealed.life; Avvi.info; Wellnessandwisdom.store; Face Book: JME LEE Author’s Books: Fall of 2019 Dedications This book is dedicated to all who have been displaced and disrupted by the California fires through no fault of their own. They deserve better than how they have been treated by their insurers, their local politicians, their state ‘representatives’, their local & state fire and police agencies, FEMA, and Red Cross. To courageous retired Fire Captains John Lord and Matt Dakin, who boldy went on social media to discuss the many anomalies, inconsistencies and impossibilities, that are occurring with the California fires when no other government or community service officials had the temerity to do. To date, they are STILL the only two experts to speak out, though many professionals are in agreement, in private conversation and do not want to risk their jobs and pensions. And to you, the readers of this books most difficult subjects to comprehend and disseminate. It takes courage, to look at very difficult conclusions to the possibilities that California’s fires were not random or happenstance. It takes will, to want to know the truth, wherever it may lead you. And it takes Love, to heal the wounds from the physical, mental and Spiritual battles we are all facing today. The first steps to any occulted truths are a willingness to want to know rather than beLIEve, trust and blindly accept the official narratives provided by those in Secret Societies with hidden agendas who care not about your safety, or your well-being.
