VIDEO and POWER POINT. From the Midcoast Community Council (MCC) meeting 3/10/2021.
Coastsider, Keith Mangold, presents. Hotter, drier, windier. Diablo winds are increasing the distance embers blow. That is how blown embers can ignite the El Granada eucalyptus crown.
Fire webcams and fire watch vo
lunteers can help during Diablo wind events.
Potential loss in El Granada of its 2,212 housing units at $1 million each is $2.2 billion. What is the cost of cutting the eucalyptus down?

Do You Know How the 1953 Brown Act Guides Public Agencies Towards Transparency?
The San Mateo County Parks Wildfire Fuel Management 5 Year Plan as presented to a recent San Mateo Board of Supervisors meeting includes the removal of 0 (zero) mature eucalyptus tree from Quarry Park. The strategy appears to be to provide shaded fuel breaks in the park, which could also be regarded as trail improvements. This strategy does nothing to reduces the insurance risk assessment of properties around the park. I have been dropped twice in three years.
