Resilient Diamond Heights Neighborhood Fire Evacuation Planning Meeting June 28th

The Diamond Heights Community Association and Resilient Diamond Heights are continuing advocacy to the SFFD and City officials for help mitigating the potential for fire storms in Glen Canyon Park and on Billy Goat Hill. Sparks from a fire igniting brush and eucalyptus trees could possibly reach homes in Glen Park, Diamond Heights and Miraloma Park. A fire could move quickly on a windy day. Due to the potential danger for neighborhoods, a staff person at the the Department of Emergency Management suggested having a Neighborhood Evacuation Plan in place.

Our Resilient Diamond Heights Workgroup plans to meet and discuss neighborhood evacuation planning:

RDH Workgroup Meeting

Thursday, June 28th

6:00 pm – light dinner (please contact Betsy Eddy at betsy.eddy@gmail.com, if you plan to attend so there will be plenty of food)

6:30 – 8:00 pm – planning meeting for neighborhood evacuation

St. Aidan’s Church

Parking permissible in the shopping center parking lot

The RDH agenda will include:

Historical fires – the need for evacuation
Questions to ask City officials including: how and how fast can evacuation notices be delivered to residents? Will messages go to every phone in the evacuation area?
In an evacuation, what can be done to assist people with no cars?
Encouraging everyone to sign up for AlertSF which would be one means to alert residents to evacuate.

Celebrate the month of Fogust with TWO Greenway work days.

On Saturday, August 11, from 9 AM-12 PM, we’ll have a Greenway Work Party to prepare planting sites for new shrubbery. We’ll be working on the stretch between Brompton and Chilton Ave. Join us!

On Saturday, August 18, from 9:30 AM-12:30 PM, we will have a Shrub Planting Party co-sponsored by Friends of the Urban Forest (FUF). You must register beforehand here: www.fuf.net/get-involved/events/sidewalk-landscaping-thursday-saturday-glen-park-2/

We’ll plant the shrubs along the Greenway between Brompton and Chilton Ave. If you came to our tree-planting party last December you’ll remember how much fun this can be.

And last, a few notes of clarification: FUF’s webpage refers to our shrub planting project as "a special sidewalk garden project” but our project has nothing to do with the sidewalk, and everything to do with the Greenway. It also refers to the volunteer activities on the Greenway on August 16-17, but volunteers are NOT being recruited for events on those days. Please disregard that. … See MoreSee Less
