"El Dorado Ready is a fiscally responsible proposal to provide dedicated funding for wildfire prevention, rapid 9-1-1 response and access to quality healthcare. Every penny must stay in El Dorado County, and NO funds can be taken away or diverted by the county, state or federal governments. Nothing is more important than ensuring we have a coordinated 9-1-1 response so we can meet the health and safety needs of our residents and be prepared in an emergency."
Wendy Thomas
Former El Dorado County Supervisor and Mayor of Placerville
"As a retired fire chief, I support El Dorado Ready because I’ve spent my life watching this community pull together in the hardest moments. I’ve stood on fire lines, talked with families who had only minutes to evacuate, and worked alongside first responders doing everything they could to keep people safe. I know how much preparation matters. Strengthening wildfire prevention, improving emergency response, and ensuring reliable access to hospital emergency rooms and local healthcare will give our neighbors the support they need when it counts most. Even in retirement, keeping this community safe will always matter to me."
Tim Cordero
Chief, El Dorado County Fire Protection District (Ret.)
"Each day we treat victims of heart attacks, strokes, and accidents, and other emergencies where seconds can be the difference between life and death. As an Emergency Room doctor, I support El Dorado Ready because rapid 9-1-1 response and quick access to the nearest emergency room helps us keep our community safe and healthy."
Dr. Rubeal Mann
Emergency Department Medical Director, Marshall
“The El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce supports El Dorado Ready because fires and other emergencies are bad for business. In fact, the Caldor Fire in 2021 led to nearly $300 million in lost tourism. We need to do more to prevent wildfires, strengthen rapid emergency response and ensure access to hospital emergency rooms.”
Laurel Brent-Bumb
Executive Director, El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce
"As a local education leader, I support El Dorado Ready because the well‑being of our students, families, and school staff depends on a community that’s prepared. Wildfires and other emergencies disrupt learning and place real strain on families. Strengthening wildfire prevention, improving emergency response, and ensuring reliable access to hospital emergency rooms and local healthcare will help keep our schools strong and our community resilient."
