Wildfire Outreach Program | San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments

FIRE PREP SAN GABRIEL VALLEY

Fire Prep San Gabriel Valley (SGV) serves as an avenue to help communities to mitigate, prevent, and prepare for wildfires in the region. Originally focused on public outreach and education, the program is expanding to support the implementation of community wildfire resilience projects, including fuel reduction, vegetation management, and other wildfire risk reduction efforts. The program provides wildfire prevention, adaptation, and implementation support for cities and communities located in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ) in the SGVCOG’s jurisdiction. Program activities have included wildfire prevention workshops, community events, social media education campaigns, informational webinars, home assessments, development of the Regional Community Wildfire Protection Plan, and the planning and implementation of the SGV Wildfire Resilience and Fuel Reduction Program.

HOME ASSESSMENT PROGRAM

Thank you for your interest in Fire Prep SGV's no-cost home assessment program. Due to overwhelming community response, we have reached our current appointment capacity and are temporarily pausing new home assessment appointments while we seek additional funding to continue the program.

We are grateful for the strong interest in wildfire preparedness and remain committed to helping San Gabriel Valley residents reduce their wildfire risk. We hope to resume home assessments as additional funding becomes available.

If you would like to be notified once the program resumes, please sign up for our waitlist.

Community Wildfire Protection Plan

The 2026 Regional Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) is a community-based plan focused on identifying and addressing local wildfire hazards and risks in the San Gabriel Valley and provides a roadmap of actions to reduce risk. The Plan was developed through collaboration with local agencies, stakeholders, and community members, and serves as a comprehensive roadmap for addressing wildfire risks and enhancing preparedness across the region. Built on coordinated planning and community engagement, the adopted CWPP:

Identifies wildfire hazards and recommends actions to better protect communities

Enhances opportunities for future grant funding to support wildfire prevention and resilience projects throughout the region

Supports the development of fire adapted communities

Recognizes the unique challenges of communities in the wildland-urban interface (WUI), where structures intermix with wildland or vegetation

Outlines strategies to reduce wildfire risk and strengthen the region's ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from wildfire events
