The neighborhoods of District 6 are all within the “wildland-urban interface”. That means our homes and our lives are exposed to a much greater risk of wildfire due to flammable vegetation so close to where we’ve built our community. We need to be vigilant about vegetation management, starting with invasive species, and supporting Fire Department services to facilitate the transition to removing hazardous trees and brush both within City limits and in Tilden Park. Andy has helped make EBMUD a leading example, pushing for a comprehensive tree and brush removal plan, and accelerating eucalyptus removal from critical facilities.
