GER3 Offering Gravel Vouchers to Aid in Creation of Defensible Space Around Homes |
Global Emergency Relief, Recovery & Reconstruction (GER³) is offering gravel vouchers to eligible residents of Altadena to aid in the creation of defensible space around their home.
Vouchers can be redeemed at “Stone / Yard Landscape Center” for a set amount of gravel to be delivered to the recipient’s home. Defensible space refers to the 5 feet around the perimeter of the home where there is no vegetation or combustible material and is protected by hardscape such as gravel.
During a high wind event, debris can easily get caught on objects and if there are combustible materials near the home this can create an area for embers to catch thereby threatening the integrity of the structure. Creating defensible space on your property is one of the most important steps you can take to make your property more wildfire resilient.
Our program provides gravel vouchers to you after you have cleared your defensible space of vegetation or combustible material, but if you need assistance, please indicate so on the registration. We’re accepting homeowner registrations until October 31. If you or one of your neighbors may be interested, please fill out this registration form. For more information about GER3’s Wildfire Preparedness Programming, please email Alexis Helgeson at alexis.helgeson@ger3.org. |
