California knows how to make homes more resilient to wildfire. Now we need to make it affordable. In @sacbee_news, former State Fire Marshal Kate Dargan Marquis makes the case for passing SB 894 to help more homeowners protect their homes. sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/art…

California homeowners deserve affordable wildfire protection for their homes. That is why I am proud to co-sponsor SB 894 by @BenAllenCA, which will establish the California Wildfire Resilience Program, providing homeowners with affordable, low-interest financing for wildfire mitigation and resilience.

Speaking with officials who are on the scene now. They are asking the public to please stay away and keep drones out of the area for everyone's safety.
Police Responding to Possible Mountain Lion Sighting near 14th and Montana Santa Monica Police Department personnel are responding to a report of a possible mountain lion sighting in a residential area. Out of an abundance of caution, officers are in the area assessing the report and working with appropriate wildlife resources. At this time, there are no reported injuries. Community members in the area are encouraged to remain indoors, keep pets inside, and avoid approaching or attempting to photograph the animal if it is seen. Anyone who sees the animal should call 9-1-1 immediately and provide their location from a safe place. Additional information will be shared as it becomes available.
