So this sets aside money to cover claims against controlled burns that ultimately cause unintended damages.
Instead of $20M, the budget should be whatever the total damages were on average per year for the past ten years.
- Spivak 3y agoGiven they haven't allowed controlled burns before that would be $0. You have to make an informed guess the first time.
- bagacrap 3y agoThey've always allowed controlled burns. I've personally seen them happen in California in regional parks. The problem seems to be that not many authorities want to do them because of liability concerns. In any case, I meant that the budget should be aligned with the normal amount of damage from uncontrolled wildfires.
