In Wake of LA Fires, San Mateo County Supervisors Seek Lessons Learned, How to Boost Preparedness
January 14, 2025
Redwood City – Two San Mateo County supervisors during the Board of Supervisor’s meeting today said the time is now to learn from the fires raging through Los Angeles and to examine ways to improve local preparedness.
“In San Mateo County, the lessons from devastating fires in Southern California weigh heavily on our hearts,” said District 3 Supervisor Ray Mueller. “As we hear the concerns of elected officials and residents, especially in our rural unincorporated communities, it’s clear: we must act now to strengthen our readiness for disasters of this scale. That’s why I am urging the Board to create an ad hoc committee to study the lessons from Southern California and assess our preparedness.
