Host Michelle Marques talks with Caerleon Safford, Program Manager for Permit Sonoma, Fire Prevention Division and Ivan O'Neill, Co-Founder and CEO of Madronus Wildfire Defense about the SoCo Adapts program. Through grants from FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program and other grants, this program is offering FREE assessments for both Defensible Space and Home Wildfire Risk for certain properties in Sonoma County. These are not code enforcements, these are free assessments to help you identify things to do to keep your home and property safe by reducing risks. Some of these risk reductions projects could be as simple as cleaning out your gutters, or moving a wood pile from the side of your house. In Phase Two of the program, you can apply for rebates on projects to reduce wildfire risk, however you will need to have completed an assessment first, so sign up today! If you are not included in the areas currently marked for free assessments, you can still sign up to be notified when the program expands to cover more areas.
