TBS Today, June 17
Tonight, Berkeley is poised to adopt one of the strictest wildfire response plans in the state.
Officials approved the original item back in April but postponed the final vote due to pushback from some homeowners in the affected areas.
Berkeley Hills council rep Brent Blackaby revised the item last month in response to community meetings and input.
TBS contributor, Kate Darby Rauch, who's been following this issue closely, has pulled together the latest updates on the plan.
Here's what's coming up tonight. TBS will monitor the meeting remotely.
Final Berkeley vote on strict new wildfire plan expected tonight
If EMBER becomes law Tuesday, it appears Berkeley won’t be a Zone 0 outlier for long: The state is working to finalize very similar standards.
