Assemblymember Heather Hadwick happily announced that Assembly District 1 has received $12,704,514.61 in grants from CalFire California Investments Program.
“I want to extend my deepest thanks to the CCI Program for investing in our district,” Hadwick said. “Unfortunately, we know wildfires all too well. But we also know mitigation is essential for the survival of our communities. Break projects, treatment programs, and fuel reductions are often the difference between life and death in times of disaster. I am so grateful CalFire has granted us over $12 million to prevent wildfires before they strike.”
In total, CalFire is awarding more than $62.6 million in funding for 84 local wildfire prevention projects across California, including 41 projects in low-income and disadvantaged communities.
CalFire’s Wildfire Prevention Grants Program provides funding for projects and activities that focus on increasing the protection of people, structures, and communities.
Over the last six years, CalFire has awarded more than $566 million in Wildfire Prevention Grants to more than 575 projects across the state.
This includes hazardous fuels reduction and wildfire prevention planning and education, with an emphasis on improving public health and safety while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
These projects support the goals and objectives of California’s Wildfire and Forest Resilience Action Plan.
