Wildfire Safety Virtual Town Hall
Wildfire Virtual Town Hall Flyer
Dear Friends,
On Wednesday, March 18th, I am convening a virtual town hall focused on
wildfire preparedness and mitigation. We will hear from local fire
authorities and a CZU wildfire survivor, covering practical steps to
protect your property, and state and local initiatives and resources.
Climate change has made wildfire risk a year-round reality, and
communities in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties are not immune –
51,733 dwellings across our two counties are deemed high or very high
risk for wildfires. A 2025 study from UC Berkeley found that wildfire
mitigation strategies can reduce wildfire destructiveness by up to 50
percent; preparation and prevention saves lives and homes.
This year I have introduced two bills that continue to prioritize
strong, data-driven wildfire policy. SB 911 and SB 973 are two
important measures aimed at strengthening wildfire resilience,
improving mitigation coordination, and expanding tools to help
communities better prepare for and respond to wildfire threats. This
legislation builds on our ongoing efforts to ensure resources are
directed where they are needed most and homeowners have clear,
practical pathways to protect their homes.
Wednesday, March 18
5 - 6 PM

Thank you for staying engaged in this critical conversation. I hope you will join us.
Sincerely,
Josh Becker
Senate District 13
