Organization

We are a newly-formed community group in Grass Valley, California, in the Washington/Hill area. Spurred by the disastrous fire seasons of 2017 and 2018, we organized this group to discuss fire safety concerns and find solutions together to reduce our collective risk.


Topics

  • Talking to each other and finding common ground

  • Signing up for Evacuation alerts

  • Identifying & maintaining evacuation routes

  • Understanding city codes

  • Establishing defensible space and making our homes fire resistant

  • Community workdays

  • Finding resources to help each other

  • Educating ourselves on how to most effectively reduce fire risks

  • Talking & working with local officials


History

We earned a grant for a community green waste haul-off.

Dozens of us worked to haul off 65 cubic yards of curbside green waste from 18 properties, and assist 3 elderly or physically disabled community members with their properties.

Relaxed afterward with pizza and potluck.
