AB 1893: Wildfire prevention: local assistance grant program: eligible activities.
The bill aims to expand the local assistance grant program for wildfire prevention in California. The program currently focuses on fire prevention and home hardening education activities, but the new bill would allow local governments to use grants for projects that acquire or install mobile water supplies for firefighting response or suppression purposes. These mobile water supplies would be especially useful in very high fire and high fire hazard severity zones. This expansion would enable local governments to better prepare for and respond to wildfires, ultimately improving public safety.
