GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY.THANK YOU FOR JOINING US THIS MORNING.
WE ARE HERE TODAY TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE DAY IS THE WILDFIRE PROTECTION PLAN DAY, AND WE'VE GOT A PROCLAMATION FROM THE CITY OF AUSTIN TO COMMEMORATE THAT.
I WANT TO FIRST JUST TAKE A MINUTE OR TWO TO TALK ABOUT WHERE WE ARE WITH WILDFIRE PREVENTION AND PREPAREDNESS.
THE CITY IS AT GREAT RISK FIFTH IN THE NATION OUTSIDE OF CALIFORNIA.
WE ARE THE TOP SPOT FOR RISK FOR WILDFIRE, AND WE ARE FORTUNATE THAT THE CITY HAS, UH, A COMMUNITY HERE HAS TAKEN IT INCREDIBLY SERIOUSLY.
BEHIND ME ARE A LOT OF FOLKS FROM THE WILDFIRE DIVISION AND THE CITY
[00:15:01]
OF AUSTIN, UH, FIRE DEPARTMENT.AND THEY'VE BEEN WORKING FOR WELL OVER A DECADE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE PREPARED FOR THE NEXT, UH, WILDFIRE EVENT, WHICH IS REALLY A CASE OF WHEN AND NOT IF THAT SAID EVEN THIS YEAR WE'VE MADE GREAT STRIDES IN THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE AS A CITY.
WE'VE PASSED, WE'RE WORKING ON AN UPDATED COMMUNITY WILDFIRE PROTECTION PLAN, WHICH WILL HOPEFULLY BE READY NEXT YEAR.
WE DRAMATICALLY INCREASE THE WALLIN URBAN INTERFACE AREA, WHICH IS AN AREA THAT REQUIRES ADDITIONAL HARDNESS OF CONSTRUCTION AND STRUCTURES.
AND WE'VE STARTED A PILOT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE REMOVING DEAD AND DOWN VEGETATION OUT OF OUR GREEN SPACES AND PARKS, AMONG OTHER THINGS THAT THE CITY IS DOING TO TAKE ACTION.
WE JUST ACTUALLY ROLLED OUT AN UPDATED EVACUATION PLAN THAT THE NEW EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT HAS, UH, HAS RELEASED.
SO WE ARE TAKING INCREDIBLE STRIDES FORWARD TO MAKE SURE THE CITY'S READY FOR WHATEVER THAT NEXT EMERGENCY IS.
AND I'M VERY ENCOURAGED BY THE WORK THAT EVERYBODY ELSE AT THE CITY IS DOING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE PREPARED FOR THE FUTURE FOR WILDFIRE PREVENTION.
SO WITH THAT SAID, I WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT THIS PROCLAMATION AND LEMME FIND IT HERE.
I'M FIRST GONNA READ IT AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO, UM, AND THEN PRESENT IT TO FOLKS FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, BE IT KNOWN THAT WHEREAS TEXAS IS EXPERIENCING UNPRECEDENTED GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT IN AREAS THAT WERE ONCE RURAL, COUPLED WITH AN INCREASE IN THE OCCURRENCE OF WILDFIRES.
AND WHEREAS THE GREATEST RISK OF WILDFIRE IS IN AREAS WHERE DEVELOPMENT MEETS VEGETATION, ALSO KNOWN AS THE WILDIN URBAN INTERFACE.
AND WHEREAS THE BEST DEFENSE IS PREPAREDNESS AND PUBLIC EDUCATION AROUND WILDFIRE DANGER.
AND WHEREAS THE COMMUNITY WILDFIRE PROTECTION PLAN, OR CWPP IS A WRITTEN DOCUMENT MUTUALLY AGREED UPON BY LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVES AND STAKEHOLDERS THAT IDENTIFIES HIGH RISK AREAS AND OUTLINES A COMMUNITY WILDFIRE RISK REDUCTION PLAN.
AND WHEREAS THE CWPP ADDRESSES STRUCTURAL VULNERABILITY AND PRIORITIZES HAZARD HAZARDOUS FUEL REDUCTION EFFORTS ON PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LANDS, AND WHEREAS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A-C-W-P-P PRIORITIZES INCORPORATING COMMUNITY FEEDBACK ABOUT LAND MANAGEMENT PRACTICES, AND WHEREAS THE CWPP OFFERS THE BEST SOLUTION FOR COMMUNITIES TO SECURE FUNDING TO IMPLEMENT PRACTICES THAT REDUCE WILDFIRE RISK.
NOW, THEREFORE, I MARK UCHIN ON BEHALF OF KIRK WATSON, MAYOR OF AUSTIN, TO HEAR ROBERT CLAIM NOVEMBER 6TH, 2025 AS COMMUNITY WILDFIRE PROTECTION PLAN DAY.

WE HAVE UPDATED THE WILDFIRE HUB THAT YOU'VE HELPED US WITH.
YES, THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT'S BEING DONE BEHIND THE SCENES TO PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE.
AND SO DEEPLY GRATEFUL OUR DISTRICT PROBABLY HAS THE GREATEST RISK.
WE ALSO, I'M GRATEFUL TO CHRIS AND OTHERS HERE FOR MAKING SURE THAT WE'VE GOT THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF SIZE ASSESSMENTS.
I THINK, I THINK WE STILL PROBABLY LEAD THE CITY AS A DISTRICT INSIDE ASSESSMENT.
SO WE ARE PROUD OF THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE THERE TO GET THE WORD OUT TO THE PUBLIC TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE DOING THEIR PART TO PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE AS WELL.
