Safe Drinking Water, Wildfire Prevention, Drought Preparedness, and Clean Air Bond Act of 2024: Department of Forestry and Fire Protection: fire camera mapping system.
- Allocates $25 million to improve wildfire detection and assessment technologies in California.
- Designates $10 million for expanding the ALERTCalifornia fire camera mapping system.
- Funds come from the voter-approved 2024 Wildfire Prevention Bond Act.
Assembly Member Petrie-Norris's proposal directs $10 million from California's wildfire prevention technology funds to the ALERTCalifornia fire camera mapping system, part of a broader $25 million allocation for fire detection improvements authorized by the 2024 Safe Drinking Water and Wildfire Prevention Bond Act.
The measure specifies funding distribution within the bond act's $1.5 billion wildfire prevention component. While the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection maintains discretion over the remaining $15 million for fire detection technologies, the bill designates $10 million specifically for expanding the ALERTCalifornia system's network of fire-monitoring cameras. These funds become available upon legislative appropriation, requiring majority approval and fiscal committee review before distribution.
This allocation stems from Proposition 4, approved by voters in November 2024, which authorized $10 billion in general obligation bonds for environmental and public safety initiatives including drought preparedness, flood control, and air quality programs. The proposition's wildfire prevention provisions encompass both technological solutions and broader forest management strategies.
