Protecting our environment and preparing our communities go hand in hand. With wildfire risk and extreme weather part of our reality, sustainability is not just about conservation—it’s about safety, resilience, and being ready.
At the recent EPIC-FSC distribution event, members of our community showed up to be prepared. They came to pick up a life-saving emergency radio that the City of Calabasas provides for free.
Join us at the Calabasas Crime Prevention Symposium on March 16, 2026 to learn practical, expert-recommended strategies to protect your home, family, and yourself from unwanted intruders and increasingly sophisticated scams.
Wildfire evacuations can unfold quickly and with little notice. Planning ahead, before an evacuation order is issued, can make all the difference for residents, responders, and animals alike. While dogs and cats are often top of mind, many local households also care for birds, reptiles, and larger animals such as horses, goats, sheep, pigs, and chickens.
This year, we invite you to join us in the work of keeping Calabasas prepared for emergencies. EPIC-FSC is entirely volunteer-powered, and there’s a role that could fit your interest, schedule, and skill set.

A little bit of time can make your home easier to defend, less likely to ignite, and keep you connected to verified, neighborhood-specific emergency information and updates when it matters most.
For many Calabasas households, the result of living in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity zone can mean elevated insurance premiums, with some carriers restricting or declining coverage altogether.
October 5 through 11, 2025, is National Fire Prevention Week, and it’s the perfect time to take practical steps that reduce wildfire risk at home.
