REU's Wildfire Mitigation Plan Passes the Test

As residents of Redding, we've seen firsthand the devastation that wildfires can bring - not to mention the wildfires that are currently active across the country.  

The recent audit of Redding Electric Utility's Wildfire Mitigation Plan proves that our city has taken proactive steps to enhance our community's safety. So, with that said, now it’s time to unpack the numbers, acronyms, and real-life examples of the wildfire mitigation plan in action with independent auditor Jeremy Cawn and REU program Supervisor Shawn Avery. 

We’ll hear exactly what REU has done in our community and how it is already helping to mitigate fire risk.  While wildfires can’t ever be truly prevented, being fire-ready can dramatically improve the outcomes. Jeremy confirms that REU is not only meeting the statutory regulations required by the state of California but is exceeding them. So, while residents should still be working on their own defensible space and fire safety habits at home, REU, Redding Fire, and other city departments are hard at work in our public spaces, which might help you sleep just a little easier at night.
