Beverly Hills, CA – The City of Beverly Hills has released an important assessment of its wildfire risk in advance of two public meetings scheduled for next week.

The draft Wildfire Assessment Report, developed by a team of wildfire safety experts, examines several key areas including public trees, private landscaping, public education, evacuation challenges, smoke impacts, structure resiliency, and many other issues.

Community meetings are scheduled for Monday, July 12 at 10 a.m. and Tuesday, July 13 at 6 p.m.  Agendas for each meeting are the same, and both will be held in-person in the Council Chamber at City Hall (455 N. Rexford Drive) and virtually at www.beverlyhills.org/live.  To offer comment during the meetings, please visit beverlyhills-org.zoom.us/my/bevpublic (Passcode: 90210).
