The Foundation 和 Pacific Gas 和 Electric Company (PG&E) support CFF’s broader 2022 Wildfire Safety 和 Preparedness Program (WSPP) 1美元.4 million in charitable funding. The program’s objective is to raise awareness about wildfire safety in more areas in California 和 bring resources to underserved communities in high fire-threat areas. The grants to local organizations are one core component of the WSPP.
“过去几年, California has seen almost no relief in wildfire intensity 和 destruction,里克·马丁内斯说, Executive Director of the 加州消防基金会. “These precious grant dollars can make the difference for fire departments 和 local organizations in protecting Californians.”
自2018年以来, 265 fire departments 和 fire agencies statewide have received $3 million in direct funding through the grant program as part of WSPP, 和 each year the program receives more applications than the prior year. Funding targets specific communities identified as having extreme or elevated fire risk as identified by the California Public Utilities Commission High Fire-Threat District map.
“Preparing for 和 responding to California’s growing wildfire risk takes all of us working together. PG&E is using all of the tools at our disposal to prevent wildfires, 和 we encourage our customers 和 our hometowns to be prepared as well. We appreciate our ongoing partnership with the CFF, 和 are grateful for the opportunity to again help fund neighborhood resilience efforts of local fire departments 和 our hometowns against disasters like wildfires,Sumeet Singh说, PG&E Executive Vice President, Chief Risk 和 Interim Chief Safety Officer.
The WSPP focuses on two key areas to help keep communities safe:
• 野火安全运动n that features fire safety education, 由CFF开发, 用英语, 西班牙语, 中国人, 越南, 和 Hmong to promote early evacuation during fires. The WSPP has worked hard to overcome language barriers by developing 和 distributing in-language fire-safety messaging. This campaign includes advertising on radio, 电视, 数字广告, 和 outdoor billboards in high fire-threat areas.
• 拨款计划 administered by the CFF through an application process. CFF awards grants to recipient fire departments, agencies 和 community groups in support of projects 和 programs focusing on wildfire/disaster prevention, preparedness 和/or relief 和 recovery assistance.
How the WSPP Helps Communities
PG&E’s 和 The Foundation’s combined 2022 $1.4 million support of the WSPP continues a five-year collaboration with CFF. PG&E 和 The Foundation have provided $6 million in total support for fire safety awareness through the WSPP. The charitable contribution is shareholder-funded, not paid for by PG&E客户.
