Rake and haul the yard debris from the first five feet at invited Clearlake homes (2026-07-19)

The five feet against a Clearlake home's walls decide most ember ignitions, and for an elder the leaves, needles, and stacked junk in that strip might as well be a mountain. A focused entry-level clear of the 0-5 ft strip — raked, bagged, hauled — is a half-day job with outsized protective value. It is the simplest fire-safety work a volunteer can do. Standard: CAL FIRE Zone 0 ember-resistant zone practice; SDG 11 Sustainable Cities. Proof: Before/after strip photos around structure plus haul photo with GPS/date Method (CAL FIRE Zone 0 ember-resistant zone practice; SDG 11 Sustainable Cities.): 1. Walk the 0-5 ft perimeter strip with the occupant and agree the scope. 2. Rake all leaves, needles, and dead material from the strip. 3. Move combustible stored items out of the strip to the agreed spot. 4. Bag and haul or stage debris for the arranged pickup. 5. Photograph the cleared strip around the full structure and record with GPS and date. Done when: Before/after strip photos around structure plus haul photo with GPS/date

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–60 minutes. Method of record: Community-coordination hazard survey (documentation + coordination only; severity-tagged)

Bring

• GPS phone
• camera
• hi-vis vest
• severity-tag reference (minor|moderate|severe|critical)

Steps

1. 1. Walk the corridor from a safe path; record a GPS waypoint at each hazard.
2. 2. Photograph each hazard.
3. 3. Classify the hazard type and assign a severity tag (minor|moderate|severe|critical).
4. 4. Name the responsible handoff target (BID / city agency / utility).
5. 5. Enter each hazard's type, severity, GPS, photo, and handoff target into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• NEVER perform repair or enter the roadway/public right-of-way -> documentation and coordination only.
• Any severity:critical (e.g., live downed wire, open utility vault) -> flag immediately to the responsible agency; keep clear.

What counts as done

• Each hazard photographed with a GPS waypoint
• Severity tag assigned per hazard
• Hazard type classified
• Named handoff target per hazard

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
