Home Hardening Tips, 7 Saturdays for Safety
Learn about easy and affordable ways for customers to protect their homes during wildfire; "7 Saturdays" digital video series introduces Californians to cost-effective ways to prepare their homes for wildfire.
The "7 Saturdays" series is co-hosted by Alicia Mason and David Hawks, a PG&E Senior Public Safety Specialist and former CAL FIRE Chief of the Butte Unit. According to Hawks, "Embers can travel several miles and find their way into gaps and cracks on your home and ignite a fire. By hardening your home, you improve the chances that your home will withstand a wildfire and keep embers out." For over 31 years, Hawks has served California as a firefighter and he understands that simple home adjustments can better protect people and communities during an emergency.

Transit Authority Questionnaire
The El Dorado County Transportation Commission and El Dorado Transit are teaming up to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality in the region by transitioning the public transit bus fleet to zero-emission buses.
An on-demand transit service allows you to book a ride to any location within your community. After using a smartphone app or calling in to book a ride, you would receive an estimated time of arrival. You may be asked to travel a short distance (think a couple blocks) to meet your ride. In minutes, an El Dorado Transit bus or shuttle would pick you up and take you to your destination. You would share a ride with passengers traveling to other nearby destinations. Similar to a bus fare, you would pay a small fee for each trip.
Watch the informational video to learn about this countywide effort, and then scroll down to answer a few questions and help inform our plans. This questionnaire will be open through July 30.

In April 2021, scientists released a new weevil from the Mediterranean region of Europe at the Bureau of Land Management Magnolia Ranch day use area in El Dorado County, CA to join the battle against yellow starthistle. Yellow starthistle is a plant of Old-World origin that arrived in California in the mid 1800's. It is believed that it made its way to California in contaminated alfalfa seed from Europe.
Are you interested in keeping up-to-date on the new yellow starthistle rosette weevil?
