Adopt fire hazard zone map designating high-risk areas in Richmond

Fire Hazard ZonesPublic Safety

In Plain English

California requires cities to officially map areas with high wildfire risk based on vegetation, weather patterns, and terrain. The state fire marshal created this map for Richmond identifying which neighborhoods face greater fire danger. If approved, these zones trigger stricter building codes and vegetation management rules for new construction.
