California SB662 aims to enhance wildfire safety through education and assessment efforts by qualified entities.

California SB662 amends the Public Resources Code to establish a program allowing qualified entities to support the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) in assessing and educating property owners about wildfire safety improvements. Qualified entities, including counties and state conservancies, can conduct defensible space assessments and home hardening evaluations. The bill also mandates the creation of a common reporting platform for data collection and requires annual reporting to the Legislature.
