Approve $1.09 million for earthquake and wildfire emergency preparedness programs
In Plain English
Richmond lacks comprehensive emergency planning despite facing high earthquake and wildfire risks. Councilmembers propose spending $300,000 on goats for vegetation control, $400,000 on citywide disaster planning, and $390,000 for Fire Department equipment. If approved, funding comes from the general fund and Measure X tax revenue.
