Infrastructure Week (May 18-22) is a great opportunity to celebrate and recognize some of the incredible infrastructure projects, both ongoing and completed, that are helping Californians and nature thrive together across the state.
Following @CAgovernor's beneficial fire executive order, state agencies have moved quickly to provide on-the-ground support to local governments and fire practitioners to maximize beneficial fire use.
Emergency personnel & first responders from across SoCal worked through the night to battle the #SandyFire. Thanks to their hard work, there was minimal growth and no additional structures lost (1 lost initially).
Crews — including the largest civilian aerial firefighting fleet
The #SandyFire in Ventura County has grown to more than 1,364 acres since starting yesterday morning. More than 10,000 homes are under evacuation orders, with another 3,500 under evacuation warnings in the Simi Valley area.
High temperatures, drying fuels, and critical fire
A red flag warning remains in effect until 8 p.m. today in some areas of California. Make an emergency plan, sign up for local alerts, and check in on neighbors. #CAWX
