Western US braces for severe wildfire season amid drought and policy shifts
Drought fuels risk: Over 60% of the contiguous US faces drought, with forecasts warning of up to 8 million acres burned this year. Policy and cost shifts: California's FAIR Plan will raise rates nearly 29%, and Zion National Park has enacted strict Stage 2 fire restrictions. Infrastructure defenses: Utilities like PGE are wrapping poles in fire-resistant mesh to protect power systems during extreme heat and wildfires. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/insight/western-us-braces-for-severe-wildfire-season-amid-drought-and-policy-shifts/gm-GM25CA5F53 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
