Stale wildfire risk map faq
The city still publishes a Wildfire Risk Map Frequently Asked Questions document under its fire department pages.The statewide wildfire hazard map was repealed by SB 83 in 2025 and all ODF designation orders were voided. If this FAQ still describes the map as operative it is stale city guidance, which is a concrete local example of the decay the site exists to correct. Read it before citing.
