2011 FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONE MAPS
On October 25, 2011, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection
(Cal Fire) forwarded a map depicting its recommendations for a Very High Fire
Hazard Severity Zone in the City of Tustin. State law requires Cal Fire to make
such recommendations and describes local agency responsibilities upon receipt
of this information. Properties located within these zones are subject to
numerous State Building Code and real estate disclosure requirements. For
these recommendations to be applicable, the map must be adopted as part of
an ordinance by the Tustin City Council.
On November 3, 2011, Cal Fire and the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA)
jointly forwarded a map depicting their recommendations for High and Moderate
Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the City of Tustin. Cal Fire and OCFA have
requested that the City of Tustin consider use of the information for public
awareness and education, and to improve public safety through possible
modifications to adopted building standards. Properties located within these
zones may be subject to numerous State Building Code and real estate
disclosure requirements. Unlike the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone
(FHSZ) map mentioned above, there is no statutory requirement for the City of
Tustin to take action on this recommendation.
