Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : These zones, Cal Fire explains, have conditions with a significant potential to lead to fire activity over a 30 to 50-year period without taking into consideration mitigation measures -- like home hardening and fuel reduction efforts -- or scars from previous burns.
46% : Cities with the biggest jumps in "very high" hazard zones included Carlsbad, Chula Vista and Del Mar, all of which nearly doubled their acreage from the 2011 map.
