The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) has released updated Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps for Southern California, including Laguna Woods. These maps classify areas as “moderate,” “high” or “very high” fire hazard zones based on factors such as vegetation (fuel), slope, fire weather and wind patterns.
The maps help determine where defensible space standards (including upcoming Zone 0 regulations) and wildland-urban interface building codes apply.
By state law, cities must adopt these updated maps within 120 days and cannot reduce the designated hazard zones.
View the updated Fire Hazard Severity Zone map for Laguna Woods at cityoflagunawoods.org/projects and at Laguna Woods City Hall (24264 El Toro Road) during business hours.
Laguna Woods City Council will consider adopting the updated map at its regular meeting on Wednesday, May 21, at 2 p.m. at city hall.
