Living With Fire: Tam Valley

Join us for a FREE 2-hour seminar on wildfire preparedness for Tam Valley residents.

As Marin residents, we all share responsibility to be prepared for wildfires.  Wildfires are a natural part of our environment, and it’s imperative that we build our homes, maintain our landscapes, and prepare our families for the next major fire. 

Learn about Tam Valley’s hazard and risk, and what you can do about it from the wildfire experts at Southern Marin Fire District and Fire Safe Marin.

• Are you and your family prepared to safely evacuate when a wildfire strikes?
• Is your home vulnerable to igniting from wildfire embers?
• Does your home have adequate Defensible Space?
• Are you interested in working with neighbors and land managers to reduce fire risk in your community?
• Updates on Southern Marin Fire District’s WUI ordinances.
• Local evacuation specifics.
• Introduction to planning and hazard assessment which is underway, and opportunity for public input. 

This workshop is intended primarily for residents, homeowners, and regular visitors to Tam Valley, CA.  Registration online at www.firesafemarin.org/events is encouraged, but not required.
