A Nevada County staff member urged residents and businesses to create and maintain defensible space around properties as part of year-round resilience efforts.
"In Nevada County, defensible space is a year round effort," the staff member said. The announcement linked defensible-space work to both winter storm recovery and wildfire preparedness, saying that "from winter storm recovery to preparing for wildfire season, resilience takes a united community." The speaker said creating defensible space "gives first responders a chance to protect what matters most."
The message asked property owners to clear vegetation and maintain areas around homes, properties and businesses to reduce risks and help emergency personnel respond. It emphasized community cooperation: "We are all in this together." The announcement concluded with a reference for further information: readynevadacounty.org/defensible space.
The statement was presented as a public-service announcement rather than a formal agenda item or policy action; no motions or votes were recorded in the transcript excerpt.
