ADOPTED POLICY PAPERS The SGVCOG adopts various policy papers to outline the position of the agency on priority issues and matters that impact the San Gabriel Valley. These documents are developed based on feedback and input from SGVCOG policy committees, city staff, and stakeholders. Adopted policy papers also guide the developments of the SGVCOG's annual legislative platforms and priorities. ENERGY POLICY The SGVCOG recognizes the impact of carbon emissions and supports energy policies that spur economic growth, protect public health, and maintain quality of life while minimizing our impact on natural resources and greenhouse gas emissions. The Energy Policy was originally adopted in 2009 and recently revised in 2021. Adopted SGVCOG Energy Policy OPEN SPACE PRESERVATION POLICY The SGVCOG continues to be committed to promote quality of life for all citizens, protect the San Gabriel Valley’s unique watershed and natural environments while guarding against wildfires, and prevent illegal activities and the spread of invasive species. This Policy was originally adopted in 2011 and recently revised in 2021. Adopted SGVCOG Open Space Preservation Policy SOLID WASTE POLICY The Solid Waste Policy was adopted by the Governing Board in 2009 to identify and implement pragmatic strategies that assist the San Gabriel Valley to plan for integrated, long-term, and reliable solid waste management needs. This Policy was recently revised in 2021 to support local jurisdictions to meet the State's waste reduction goals. Adopted SGVCOG Solid Waste Policy STORMWATER POLICY The SGVCOG seeks to promote quality of life for all residents by preserving and protecting the watershed and natural environment from polluted stormwater and to capture it and dry weather runoff to augment local water supplies. This Policy was adopted in 2016 to support agencies with comply to water quality standards. Adopted SGVCOG Stormwater Policy ZERO WASTE POLICY The SGVCOG acknowledges that waste generation negatively impacts the health of residents.

FIRE PREP SAN GABRIEL VALLEY The San Gabriel Valley Wildfire Adaptation and Prevention Outreach Program, known as Fire Prep San Gabriel Valley, serves as an avenue to help communities to mitigate, prevent, and prepare for wildfires in the region. The goal is to provide wildfire prevention and adaptation public outreach and education activities for cities and communities located in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ) in SGVCOG’s jurisdiction. The program includes the implementation of wildfire prevention workshops, community events, social media education campaigns, informational webinars, and more. PROGRAM DETAILS About Fire Prep SGV provides public outreach and education on wildfire topics in the region. It was developed following the Bobcat Fire in 2020, which burned over 115,000 acres in the San Gabriel Mountains and became the second largest fire in Los Angeles County history. After Bobcat, a SGVCOG survey showed that many cities in the San Gabriel Valley have an interest in regional wildfire adaptation and prevention planning; 19 cities expressed interest to participate in a wildfire prevention planning program that is led by the SGVCOG, and cities shared that they were interested in joining a regional effort to provide evacuation planning, structure hardening, hazardous fuel reduction, brush mitigation, and community education support. Due to this response, SGVCOG successfully applied for grant funding from the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy (RMC) in 2021 to plan and implement a wildfire outreach program through 2023. In 2022, SGVCOG received additional grant funding from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) to extend the program until 2026. WILDFIRE EDUCATION IN YOUR COMMUNITY This program focuses on cities with Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ), as designated by CAL FIRE's mapping of severe fire hazard areas based on fuel, terrain, weather, and other relevant factors. Look at the map below to see if your city is within a VHFHSZ. VHFHSZ in a Local Responsibility Area (LRA): Local government has financial responsibility for wildfire protection and prevention VHFHSZ in a State Responsibility Area (SRA): State government has financial responsibility for wildfire protection and prevention LOCAL RESOURCES BY CITY Check out resources for your city below.

SGVCOG applied for and was awarded a CAL FIRE grant in late 2022, and is working with consultant Jensen Hughes to develop the CWPP. The purpose of the CWPP is to identify and prioritize actions for wildfire mitigation, prevention, and adaptation to protect life, property, and critical infrastructure in the San Gabriel Valley. Through collaborative discussions with varied stakeholders, the development of the CWPP will explore existing wildfire challenges, hazard and risk assessments, and local preparedness capabilities of all 31 member cities in the SGV, many of which contain high-hazard areas for wildfire. The plan reviews existing policies of the San Gabriel Valley member agencies, conducts hazard and risk analyses, establishes community maps that identify hazard severity zones, and models additional fire-related hazards. Throughout the process, the consultant team has conducted stakeholder and public outreach, including regularly convening a stakeholder working group. The SGVCOG anticipates adopting the CWPP in February 2026. For any questions regarding the SGV Regional CWPP, please contact Mackenzie Bolger at mbolger@sgvcog.org. cwpp FOR MORE INFORMATION OR TO HAVE FIRE PREP SGV AT YOUR COMMUNITY EVENT: Victoria Urenia Management Analyst vurenia@sgvcog.org Contact

"content": "FIRE PREP SAN GABRIEL VALLEY The San Gabriel Valley Wildfire Adaptation and Prevention Outreach Program, known as Fire Prep San Gabriel Valley, serves as an avenue to help communities to mitigate, prevent, and prepare for wildfires in the region. The goal is to provide wildfire prevention and adaptation public outreach and education activities for cities and communities located in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ) in SGVCOG’s jurisdiction. The program includes the implementation of wildfire prevention workshops, community events, social media education campaigns, informational webinars, and more. PROGRAM DETAILS About Fire Prep SGV provides public outreach and education on wildfire topics in the region. It was developed following the Bobcat Fire in 2020, which burned over 115,000 acres in the San Gabriel Mountains and became the second largest fire in Los Angeles County history. After Bobcat, a SGVCOG survey showed that many cities in the San Gabriel Valley have an interest in regional wildfire adaptation and prevention planning; 19 cities expressed interest to participate in a wildfire prevention planning program that is led by the SGVCOG, and cities shared that they were interested in joining a regional effort to provide evacuation planning, structure hardening, hazardous fuel reduction, brush mitigation, and community education support. Due to this response, SGVCOG successfully applied for grant funding from the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy (RMC) in 2021 to plan and implement a wildfire outreach program through 2023. In 2022, SGVCOG received additional grant funding from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) to extend the program until 2026. WILDFIRE EDUCATION IN YOUR COMMUNITY This program focuses on cities with Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ), as designated by CAL FIRE's mapping of severe fire hazard areas based on fuel, terrain, weather, and other relevant factors. Look at the map below to see if your city is within a VHFHSZ. VHFHSZ in a Local Responsibility Area (LRA): Local government has financial responsibility for wildfire protection and prevention VHFHSZ in a State Responsibility Area (SRA): State government has financial responsibility for wildfire protection and prevention LOCAL RESOURCES BY CITY Check out resources for your city below.

SGVCOG applied for and was awarded a CAL FIRE grant in late 2022, and is working with consultant Jensen Hughes to develop the CWPP. The purpose of the CWPP is to identify and prioritize actions for wildfire mitigation, prevention, and adaptation to protect life, property, and critical infrastructure in the San Gabriel Valley. Through collaborative discussions with varied stakeholders, the development of the CWPP will explore existing wildfire challenges, hazard and risk assessments, and local preparedness capabilities of all 31 member cities in the SGV, many of which contain high-hazard areas for wildfire. The plan reviews existing policies of the San Gabriel Valley member agencies, conducts hazard and risk analyses, establishes community maps that identify hazard severity zones, and models additional fire-related hazards. Throughout the process, the consultant team has conducted stakeholder and public outreach, including regularly convening a stakeholder working group. The SGVCOG anticipates adopting the CWPP in February 2026. For any questions regarding the SGV Regional CWPP, please contact Mackenzie Bolger at mbolger@sgvcog.org. cwpp FOR MORE INFORMATION OR TO HAVE FIRE PREP SGV AT YOUR COMMUNITY EVENT: Victoria Urenia Management Analyst vurenia@sgvcog.org Contact",

The goal is to provide wildfire prevention and adaptation public outreach and education activities for cities and communities located in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ) in SGVCOG’s jurisdiction. The program includes the implementation of wildfire prevention workshops, community events, social media education campaigns, informational webinars, and more. PROGRAM DETAILS About Fire Prep SGV provides public outreach and education on wildfire topics in the region. It was developed following the Bobcat Fire in 2020, which burned over 115,000 acres in the San Gabriel Mountains and became the second largest fire in Los Angeles County history. After Bobcat, a SGVCOG survey showed that many cities in the San Gabriel Valley have an interest in regional wildfire adaptation and prevention planning; 19 cities expressed interest to participate in a wildfire prevention planning program that is led by the SGVCOG, and cities shared that they were interested in joining a regional effort to provide evacuation planning, structure hardening, hazardous fuel reduction, brush mitigation, and community education support. Due to this response, SGVCOG successfully applied for grant funding from the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy (RMC) in 2021 to plan and implement a wildfire outreach program through 2023. In 2022, SGVCOG received additional grant funding from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) to extend the program until 2026. WILDFIRE EDUCATION IN YOUR COMMUNITY This program focuses on cities with Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ), as designated by CAL FIRE's mapping of severe fire hazard areas based on fuel, terrain, weather, and other relevant factors. Look at the map below to see if your city is within a VHFHSZ. VHFHSZ in a Local Responsibility Area (LRA): Local government has financial responsibility for wildfire protection and prevention VHFHSZ in a State Responsibility Area (SRA): State government has financial responsibility for wildfire protection and prevention LOCAL RESOURCES BY CITY Check out resources for your city below.

SGVCOG applied for and was awarded a CAL FIRE grant in late 2022, and is working with consultant Jensen Hughes to develop the CWPP. The purpose of the CWPP is to identify and prioritize actions for wildfire mitigation, prevention, and adaptation to protect life, property, and critical infrastructure in the San Gabriel Valley. Through collaborative discussions with varied stakeholders, the development of the CWPP will explore existing wildfire challenges, hazard and risk assessments, and local preparedness capabilities of all 31 member cities in the SGV, many of which contain high-hazard areas for wildfire. The plan reviews existing policies of the San Gabriel Valley member agencies, conducts hazard and risk analyses, establishes community maps that identify hazard severity zones, and models additional fire-related hazards. Throughout the process, the consultant team has conducted stakeholder and public outreach, including regularly convening a stakeholder working group. The SGVCOG anticipates adopting the CWPP in February 2026. For any questions regarding the SGV Regional CWPP, please contact Mackenzie Bolger at mbolger@sgvcog.org. cwpp FOR MORE INFORMATION OR TO HAVE FIRE PREP SGV AT YOUR COMMUNITY EVENT: Victoria Urenia Management Analyst vurenia@sgvcog.org Contact\n\n",
