San Mateo County/Filoli has been awarded a Legislative Pre-Disaster Mitigation (LPDM) grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the Filoli Wildfire Mitigation Project. The grant will be administered through the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and the project will be managed by Filoli. The project aims to reduce the threat of wildfire to life and property within the wildland–urban interface (WUI). The project will reduce hazardous trees around power lines, reduce hazardous fuels within forested areas, and create defensible space around the main roadway and surrounding 17 structures on the Filoli estate. Filoli invites proposals from consultants to provide Environmental Compliance and Monitoring on this project.
