FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JUNE 2020 5 Thank you to all who voted! I want to wish a very warm welcome to the new Board members and I hope you do as well. They work very hard for the community as volunteers and have a busy time ahead of them! I write this in the beginning of May and my crystal ball seems a bit faulty these days. I am sure there will have been more changes from now until when you will be reading this. Guidelines from the different agencies change continually and we will continue to respond as quickly as possible to those changes. While we navigate those changes to the way we operate due to COVID-19, we have relied heavily on the Daily Report and website to bring you the most up-to-date information possible. I want to continue to urge everyone to sign up for the Daily Report by emailing your name and address to issues@fourseasonsbeaumont.org and we will add you to the list. I want to thank everyone for their patience and understanding during this time. As soon as we can open up the facilities and have everyone in the clubhouses playing cards and using the facilities we will. We will get through this together. GENERAL MANAGER'S REPORT By Eric Zarr If you or your neighbors are having trouble getting, or have been denied, homeowner insurance, you might want to look at the following website: https://ia.cpuc.ca.gov/ firemap/ This is a map of the high fire threat areas within the state of California. It is a result of 12 years of studies and meetings between the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), California Office of Emergency Services (OES), Cal Fire and many other California stakeholders. All areas of wildfire prevention and mitigation were addressed as well utility infrastructure throughout the state. As a result of the studies and meetings, the CPUC has passed 70 resolutions, and the State Legislature has passed two Senate bills and one Assembly bill to address wildfire issues and develop the map. The map has an address search feature whereby you can put in your address (then hit enter or return) and your address will be "pinned" on the map. In our case, living in Four Seasons, you will immediately see that, with the exception of the fringe areas, we are definitely NOT in the designated high fire threat area as defined by the State of California even though some insurance companies are ignoring this fact. Although this addresses the insurance questions, you might also ask the question of why Four Seasons is subject to the mandates and protocols of the Public Power Shutoff Program. The answer is that the electrical circuits that feed Four Seasons transverse though undeveloped high fire threat areas and if they are deenergized, we are affected by the outage. ~ Mike Martin Homeowner Insurance Problems Related To Fire Danger
