Dear Cambrians,

We are writing to share exciting news about upcoming meetings designed to enhance wildfire awareness and preparedness throughout Cambria. As we continue to face the challenges posed by the threat of wildfires in our region, the Cambria CSD Fire Department is committed to providing resources, education, and support to ensure the safety and resilience of our community. The Cambria CSD Fire Department will be holding community meetings focused on emergency operations and planning specific to each of our designated service areas. The map identifying the various geographic and neighborhood locations is provided below.

During these meetings, we will discuss emergency communication systems, access, and transportation during disasters, and fire mitigation strategies for rural properties. These meetings are scheduled by area and are designed to provide an opportunity for collaboration, feedback, and strengthening our community's preparedness for emergencies. Your participation is vital to ensuring that our community remains resilient and ready to face potential challenges. These meetings will be interactive and informative, giving you the opportunity to ask questions, voice concerns, and gain practical tips to protect your home and loved ones. You can expect to learn about fire safety, including defensible space, vegetation management, and best practices for reducing fire risk around your property. We will provide guidance on creating a family evacuation plan, assembling an emergency kit, and staying informed during a wildfire event. These sessions will also include interactive discussions where you can share your thoughts and concerns about wildfire safety and collaborate with neighbors to strengthen our community’s preparedness. Additionally, we will distribute helpful brochures, checklists, and other tools to support your wildfire readiness efforts.

We encourage every resident to participate. Your involvement enhances your personal preparedness and strengthens our community’s collective ability to respond to wildfire threats. Bring your questions and invite your neighbors to join in these important discussions. By working together, we can create a safer, more resilient Cambria.
