At Wednesday's Midcoast Community Council (MCC) meeting, Resist Density urged Council members and officials from Half Moon Bay and the County to initiate a coordinated and comprehensive plan for a potential wildfire on the San Mateo County coast. The recent devastating wildfires in Paradise and southern California raise serious questions about how to prepare for a coastal wildfire in San Mateo County. Currently no such plan exists, even though the entire coastal area is surrounded by Tier 2 (Elevated) and Tier 3 (Extreme) Fire Threat, according to the 2018 CPUC fire threat map.
