Wildfire Ready [ https://nixle.us/G2HKM?_ga=2.257969482.1123297177.1737162233-758919410.1737162233 ]
Be Wildfire Ready Year-Round

Despite the cold weather conditions locally, the devastating fires in Southern California have provided a harsh reminder that we all need to remain ready for wildfire throughout the year, not only in the warmer months.

There are actions you can take throughout the year to increase your level of personal preparedness for a wildfire and increase wildfire resiliency in the Fremont community, regardless of where you live or the type of dwelling you reside in.

Here are a few key wildfire preparedness tips to keep in mind:

*1. Make a wildfire action plan - *Creating a well-thought-out Wildfire Action Plan is important for every family, regardless of where you live. 

*2. Prepare and emergency 'Go Bag' - *Make an Emergency ‘Go Bag’, or an emergency supply kit for each person in your family long before any wildfire or disaster. 

*3. Review your insurance coverage - *Do you know what damage is covered by your insurance when a disaster strikes? 

*4. Sign-up for emergency alerts *


* *Nixle Alerts* from the Fremont Fire Department and Fremont Police Department by texting your zip code to 888777
* *AC Alert* emergency notifications in Alameda County by visiting *https://alamedacountyca.gov/emergencysite*
* *Genasys Protect *("formerly known as Zonehaven") is an emergency communications platform with standardized evacuation zones established for all of Fremont, the entire County of Alameda, and many communities throughout the state. Take a moment to become familiar with your evacuation zone by visiting *https://protect.genasys.com/search *to locate your zone.

Wildfire won’t wait! The steps you take to prepare, prevent, and minimize damage of wildfires now, the better off you and your loved ones will be.

Tri-City Animal Shelter Expands Hours For Pet Adoption & Services

The Tri-City Animal Shelter has expanded lobby hours! Starting Wednesday, January 15, 2025, the Shelter lobby expanded its hours, and is now open to the public *Wednesday through Saturday, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. *

During open lobby hours, you will be able to obtain services such as pet licensing, lost/found pet retrieval and drop-off, pet fostering, volunteering, dropping off a donation, as well as viewing a list with photos of animals available for adoption.

We encourage community members who are looking to adopt an available pet to *view animals online [ https://www.tricityanimalshelter.org/154/Adoption-Process ]* and make a 1:1 appointment prior to visiting the shelter. An appointment ensures the availability of staff to help facilitate socialization with potential pets and a timely expedited adoption process. While viewing animals without an appointment may be limited during some open hours, the shelter is also now pleased to offer open adoption hours, where no appointment is needed on the following days:

*Friday: 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm*

*Saturday: 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm*

To make an in-person appointment for adoption services, please call 510-790-6645 or send *an e-mail <animalshelter@fremont.gov>* to connect with a staff member. The Shelter is working toward increasing additional non-appointment viewing hours, so please be on the lookout for future communications. 

If you or someone you know is looking for a new pet, or you need services the Tri-City Animal Shelter provides, we encourage you to drop by during the public hours. Please follow the Shelter on Instagram @TriCityAnimals or *Facebook [ https://www.facebook.com/TriCityAnimals/ ] *for the latest happenings, lost/found pets and to view pets available for adoption! 

Thank you for your continued support!

Earthquake Preparedness Grant Program [ https://www.fremont.gov/residents/emergency-preparedness/earthquake ]
Earthquake Preparedness Grant Program Now Available for Fremont Homeowners

Attention Fremont homeowners! You can now register for a chance to receive grant funding to help strengthen your home against earthquakes. Registration just opened for California’s *Earthquake Brace + Bolt grant program* [ https://www.earthquakebracebolt.com/ ], which offers eligible homeowners up to $3,000 toward a residential seismic retrofit. Applications are being accepted through February 26, 2025. This program aims to help homeowners lessen the potential for damage to their homes during an earthquake by "bracing" the crawl space, when necessary, and "bolting" the foundation to the frame. Only raised-foundation wood-framed homes built before 1980 qualify for the program. For income-eligible homeowners, a supplemental grant above the $3,000 may be available.

Also, the *Earthquake Soft Story* [ https://www.californiaresidentialmitigationprogram.com/our-seismic-retrofit-programs/the-retrofits/ess-retrofit ] retrofit program is open and accepting applications. An Earthquake Soft-Story retrofit reinforces houses with a living space over a garage and makes these houses more resistant to earthquake damage caused by ground shaking. In this type of seismic retrofit, the foundation is bolted to the frame of the house, perimeter walls of the lowest story are braced, and the walls at the garage door (or any other large opening) are strengthened with plywood, steel, or other proprietary elements.

*See if you qualify* [ https://www.californiaresidentialmitigationprogram.com/our-seismic-retrofit-programs/see-if-you-qualify ] for one of these programs and then *register online* [ https://www.californiaresidentialmitigationprogram.com/our-seismic-retrofit-programs/how-to-register ]. 

For more information about [ https://www.earthquakebracebolt.com/ ]*earthquake preparedness* [ https://www.fremont.gov/residents/emergency-preparedness/earthquake ], please visit the City’s website.

"About the grant program: California Residential Mitigation Program (CRMP) was created as a joint-powers-authority entity formed by its members, the California Earthquake Authority (CEA), a public instrumentality of the State of California, and the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES). CRMP is a legally separate entity from its members."
