HELP SHAPE OUR RESILIENCE PLAN!
The four Peninsula cities have joined together in a multi-
jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) update to
better prepare for natural hazards Developed in
accordance with the federal Disaster Mitigation Act and
FEMA/Cal OES guidelines, this coordinated plan identifies
long-term strategies to reduce risk to life, property, and
critical infrastructure across the Peninsula. Public review is
a vital part of the process, and your input helps ensure the
plan reflects local knowledge, lived experience, and
community priorities before formal adoption. A two-week
public review period is now open. Residents
are encouraged to read the draft plan and
submit comments through the PVPready.gov
website.
TUMBLEWEED CLEARANCE REMINDERS
Pursuant to Municipal Code 8.30.010, residents are
required to clear dead or alive tumbleweeds from their
properties. During fire and wind events, tumbleweeds
become fire fuel. When clearing any dead vegetation,
remember to keep a fire extinguisher or water hose
nearby in case of sparks from equipment. Tumbleweed
seeds sprout in late April and you can see seedlings along
lawn edges or driveways. After sprouting, the seedlings
have a delicate red/maroon stem/spine and two green
fleshy leaves, opposite each other. PULL THE SEEDLING AT
THIS POINT! If you remove all the seedlings, you will begin
to reduce the “seed bank” hiding in your soil. It could
take three years of this diligent effort, pulling each as it
sprouts, to completely deplete the tumbleweed seed
bank.
COYOTE MITIGATION EFFORT UPDATE
While the City has a contract with LA County’s
Agricultural Commissioner/Weights and Measures
Department for assistance with coyote and other wildlife
related services, residents have the option to contact
Animal Pest Management Services directly if they would
like to inquire about their mitigation services at their own
expense – they can be reached at (909)591-9551.
SPRING STORMWATER REMINDER
Late winter and early spring rains can carry sediment,
manure, fertilizers, and debris from driveways and barns
into our Peninsula’s natural drainage channels. Sweep
instead of hosing, keep storm drains clear, and cover
loose soil or materials before storms. Small steps help
protect our open space and water quality.
