We are reaching out to inform you of significant proposed changes to “Zone 0” regulations that could drastically impact our neighborhoods, requiring us to remove many trees and hedges around our homes. These regulations are being fast-tracked and will affect communities across the Westside — including Bel-Air, Brentwood, Brentwood Park, the Palisades Riviera, and Pacific Palisades.
The California State Board of Forestry and CalFire are proposing sweeping changes to landscaping rules for properties located in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones: Zone 0 (within 5 feet of structures) = Removal of all plant material.
New revisions to these rules will be released in mid-June, with a goal of passing them by year-end. We must act quickly to advocate for smarter, science-based policies.
Act: The button below will direct you to the Brentwood Homeowners Association Zone 0 landing page with more detailed explanation. You can reach out directly to your state representatives using the emails below or by accessing the one-click link on the Brentwood HOA page.

A "go bag" (bug-out bag or an emergency bag) is a pre-packed bag with essential items you'd need to survive for a day or two in case of an emergency that requires you to leave your home quickly. It’s commonly used for natural disasters, evacuations, or other crises. The purpose of the items in the bag is to keep you safe, warm, fed, and informed during the critical period immediately following a disaster or emergency (suggested items listed below).
Be sure to prepare for your entire household, including pets.
Tip: Keep the packed bags by the primary exits of your home for you to easily grab on your way out!
