The revised budget maintains funding to bring the Northern California Re"entry Facility online and operational in 2009. Emergency Response Initiative. The revised budget includes the creation of the Emergency Response Initiative (ERI) (formerly known as the Wildland Firefighting Initiative). Through this program, the emergency response capabilities of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), the Office of Emergency Services (OES) and the Military Department are increased. The new initiative proposes two levels for the surcharge assessed for those carrying insurance on residential or commercial property. For those in "high-hazard zones' as determined by CAL FIRE and DES risk maps, there is a 1.4 percent surcharge. This is roughly equal to the average cost of $12.60 per household annually. For those in the "low-hazard zones" the surcharge is 0.75 percent, roughly equal to $6.75 per household. Total revenues from the surcharge are estimated to reach $69.3 million for 2008-09. Collected monies will be deposited into the Emergency Response Account and will be used by GAL FIRE and OES in FY 2008-09 to cover full staffing for GAL FIRE fire engines during peak and transition fire seasons, maintenance for existing OES emergency vehicle fleet, and General Fund backfill for program and administrative costs.
