Information requested or shared at the July Emerald Hills Neighborhood Council Meeting

A representative from Fire- Rescue came to remind us that it is always Fire Season in San Diego, especially with the current drought.

 Please create the 100 ft boundary around your home, whether you live along a canyon's edge or not. An ember from a fire can easily travel a half mile or more..

How Can I Prepare?

1. Prepare by registering your mobile phones with the AlertSanDiego emergency notification system

2. Protect your home by creating and maintaining a 100 foot defensible space around your home

3. Utilize fire resistive landscaping techniques to reduce the fire risk to your home

4. Modify your home’s exterior to make it less vulnerable to burning embers
