Wildfires don't wait and neither should you! Start preparing your home and property now. Take two critical steps: create defensible space and harden your home. ✅ Defensible space helps create a buffer around your property to keep wildfire away from structures. Start now by clearing all combustible vegetation and items like firewood from within five feet of your house. ✅ Hardening your home helps protect against flying embers and radiant heat. Start now by clearing dead leaves and debris from your gutters. Learn how you can do both at ReadyforWildfire.org. 🔥✋🏠 #WildfirePrevention #HomeHardening #DefensibleSpace #CALFIRE

Empieza a preparar tu casa y propiedad desde ahora para protegerte contra los incendios forestales. Hay dos pasos muy importantes: ✅ Crear un espacio libre alrededor de tu casa (espacio defendible) ✅ Hacer que tu hogar sea más fuerte contra el fuego (reforzar el hogar) El espacio defendible actúa como una barerra que ayuda a que el fuego no llegue fácilmente a tu casa. Reforzar tu hogar con materiales resistentes al fuego lo protege de las brasas que vuelan y del calor intenso de un incendio. Para más información y para aprender cómo hacer estas cosas, visita ReadyForWildfire.org 🔥✋🏠 #CALFIRE #Prevención #EspacioDefendible

As National Disability Employment Awareness Month comes to a close, we're excited to announce the formation of the California Disability Leadership Alliance. The Alliance is made up of disability and Deaf leaders from disability-led organizations with the goal of building cross-disability collaboration, solidarity, and political power to influence and improve policies for disabled people in California. Today The Alliance published its first report: State of the State: California Disability Policy in 2024. The report identifies policy areas like health care, education, transportation, housing, and employment in which lawmakers, state agency leaders, and advocates can partner to advance disability community interests. Learn more about The Alliance and the State of the State: disabilityrightsca.org/press… #CDLAlliance #DisabilityPolicy #DisCollectiveCA #InclusiveCA #NDEAM #DisabilityInclusion #DisabilityRights #NothingWithoutUs @CalVoices @ccb_org @CFILC_1982 @ChoiceinAging @TheCoelhoCenter @DREDF @nfb_cal @NorCalDeafSvcs @ThePaintedBrain
