Sacramento, CA…As 2021 California wildfire survivors begin the process of recovering, the California Governor\u2019s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) is reminding property owners to sign up for the State\u2019s Consolidated Debris Removal Program (Program).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So far, debris removal work is happening on the ground with\u00a01,308\u00a0properties in nine counties are participating in the full program element of the no cost state-managed Program, which is administered by Cal OES and the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), in collaboration with county officials.\u00a0 Another\u00a0144\u00a0properties are participating in the hazardous trees only element of the program.<\/p>\n

Property owners opt into the program by submitting a Right-of-Entry form (ROE) to their county, which allows the state to begin work on their property and incur no direct costs for the removal of burned metal, concrete, ash and contaminated soil from their properties.<\/p>\n

\u201cRemoving wildfire debris is a foundational step to ensure families can rebuild and come back home. While we\u2019ve been able to have most eligible homeowners sign up for the state\u2019s no cost debris removal program, we\u2019ve extended the deadline to ensure that every eligible Californian knows about the options available to them,\u201d said\u00a0Ryan Buras, Deputy Director of Recovery at Cal OES.<\/p>\n

Interested homeowners can still sign up for the Program by\u00a0November 30, 2021.\u00a0Find more information about the state\u2019s Consolidated Debris Removal Program, including contacts and county-specific ROE forms\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Property owners cannot start rebuilding until fire debris is removed from their properties and soil samples taken from the property meet state environmental health and safety standards.\u201d\r\n\r\nProperty owners also can do the work themselves or hire a private contractor, but the work must meet the same state standards as the State Program. If work is started by the property owner or contractor, they become ineligible for the State Program.\r\n\r\nWork Completed to Date:<\/pre>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
