Hazard is not the same as risk
What a Fire Hazard Severity Zone tells you.
Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps classify areas based on expected wildfire hazard conditions such as fuels, terrain, weather and fire history. They do not predict whether an individual structure will burn or replace a property inspection.

Use California's official mapping tools and your local jurisdiction's adopted maps for current, property-specific information.

Why the designation may matter
Defensible-space duties
State and local requirements may apply based on location, hazard designation, structure type and jurisdiction.
Building and planning standards
Construction, remodeling, access, water supply and subdivision requirements may be affected in designated areas.
Disclosure and insurance
Hazard information can be relevant to real-estate disclosures, underwriting and risk-mitigation planning.
