Fire Safe Foothills presents wildfire resilience program funded by $2.3M RMC grant
Summary
Fire Safe Foothills and partner Day 1 described a Rivers and Mountains Conservancy grant of $2.3 million (through Aug 2027) to expand wildfire preparedness workshops, home‑hardening guidance, community convenings and Firewise/Fire Safe Council support across the Foothill region including Glendora.
Representatives from Fire Safe Foothills (Carla Martinez) and partner Day 1 (Gabriela Villegas) briefed council on a regionally funded wildfire resilience program supported by the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy.
"Our grant is $2,300,000, and our grant period is from September 2025 to September of August 2027," Carla Martinez said, describing the program's focus on community and environmental equity, home hardening, workshops, evacuation planning, and community organizing. Gabriela Villegas explained Day 1's role and upcoming workshops, including a Glendora workshop the following day tailored to access and functional needs.
The presenters highlighted a mix of outreach tools (including a home‑hardening guide, a risk‑assessment activity and a virtual convening scheduled in early September) and partner organizations that include local fire safe councils, libraries and the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments. Councilmembers thanked the presenters and discussed ways to distribute alert‑system information and coordinate with local outreach events.
