SACRAMENTO Following a record-setting fire season last year, Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislative leaders announced a $536 million plan Thursday to help the state brace for another dry year.
The plan includes millions of dollars for vegetation thinning on public and private land, forest health projects, grants for homeowners to make structures fire-resistant and money for communities to fund prevention efforts.
SACRAMENTO
After the worst fire season in California history and as drought conditions raise fears of what’s to come, Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislative leaders unveiled a $536-million proposal Thursday to boost efforts at firefighting and a variety of prevention measures, including vegetation management and the construction of fire-resistant structures across the state.
The proposal, which the Legislature could send to the governor’s desk as soon as Monday, marks an early agreement by the governor and lawmakers to spend more than half of the $1 billion in wildfire funding Newsom called for in his state budget proposal in January. The gravity of the issue became clear last week after state officials reported the water content in the Sierra Nevada snowpack stood at 59% of the average for early spring.
