As extreme drought conditions persist, increasing the risk of wildland fire activity in Topanga and across the state, it is critical that residents are ready for potential disasters.  Learn how to prepare for fires and other emergencies during a special meeting at the Topanga Library on July 9. 

Our beautiful mountain community is particularly prone to fires — we live in one of the largest urban wildlife interfaces in the country, completely surrounded by parkland, with limited ingress and egress.  You play the most important role in protecting yourself, your family, and your property. A fire-wise Topanga is a safer Topanga for us all.

Learn how to prepare for fires and other emergencies during a special meeting at the Topanga Library on July 9, from 10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

Meeting attendees who live in Topanga or work in the canyon as caregivers will also be able to purchase Topanga Access Cards, which display your Zone Number, and expedite re-entry to the canyon when officers deem it safe to return. Unlike other forms of ID, non-driving children, elderly, disabled adults and their caregivers with an Access Card will be able to enter the canyon with a non-resident driver.

Note to first-time applicants: You will need to bring your driver's license or state ID, and one of the types of address verification if your driver's license does not include your current Topanga address (utility bill, bank or mortgage statement, or lease). Each Access Card is $12.
