New Insurance Regulations For California Wildfire Mitigation
California will become the first state in the nation to require insurance premium discounts for owners of homes and businesses that are made safer from wildfires.

ARDC Grant Funds Life-Saving Communications
Emergency Preparedness in Calabasas (EPIC-FSC), a local non-profit, will soon be receiving a grant from the Amateur Radio Digital Communications foundation (ARDC) to build and deploy amateur radio equipment to send and receive email messages without a direct connection to the Internet. Amateur radio operators will be able to communicate by relaying messages outside of the affected area to other stations that still have an Internet connection.
Calabasas Evacuation Zones
Using the Zonehaven AWARE platform, first responders and residents will refer to the same set of Zone maps used for planning and conducting evacuations,” the city of Calabasas said in a news release. “Beginning with the Santa Monica Mountain region, residents can now see their ‘Zone’ and have access to information about emergency services in their zone, see real-time zone status updates, shelter options, and more.”
Who Are Our Clients?
Who Should They Be? I have read there is an old Persian saying that, translated to English, reads: He who knows and knows that he knows is a wise man: follow him. He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep: awaken him. He who knows not and knows that he knows not is a child: teach him. He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool: shun him. So here is my question: which group best describes who EPIC’s clients are? For bonus points explain why you think that and how you would suggest we reach them.
