2020 has been an unprecedented year for wildfires in California. It's important that we all be prepared. The Fire Safe Council for Monterey County developed a FREE online workshop, WILDFIRE & YOU, that you can take at any time to help protect your life and home in event of wildfires https://firesafemonterey.org/workshops.html

Monterey County is in the purple tier - the highest and most restricted level based on the California Blueprint for a Safer Economy. The chart below shows the positivity rates for County's to qualify for each tier. Find much more information on the Monterey County website at https://www.co.monterey.ca.us/government/departments-a-h/health/diseases/2019-novel-coronavirus-covid-19/state-s-blueprint-for-a-safer-economy

If we all follow the recipe we can move through the tiers sooner than later, and reopen our economy safely.
