Sonoma residents now have the opportunity to weigh in on Cal Fire’s statewide update to the Fire Hazard Severity Maps for Local Responsibility Areas released by the City of Sonoma, the Sonoma Valley Fire District and the county.

Cal Fire said the maps are proactive, to be used in wildland-urban interface building standards for new construction and natural hazard real estate disclosures at the time of sale.

More than 800,000 acres of land across these SoCal counties have been classified under the highest fire hazard severity zone level.
