Monterey County 5th District Wildfire Preparation Community Meeting Following the 2016 Soberanes Fire and devastating fire seasons in northern California over the last two years, Monterey County residents are concerned about how to be prepared for the next wildfire. 5th District Supervisor Mary Adams will host a community meeting for residents to find out what key agencies are doing and what the community can do to prepared for the next wildfire. District 5 includes communities along the Highway 68 corridor, Jacks Peak, Del Monte Forest/Pebble Beach, Carmel Valley, Cachagua, Carmel Highlands, Big Sur Coast and the Monterey Peninsula cities. “After the devastating Camp Fire, my office received many phone calls with questions about emergency preparedness and evacuation in these areas,” says Adams. This community meeting is set for January 31 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Palo Corona Regional Park. It is an opportunity for residents to come ask questions and learn from our emergency services experts.
