Not 100% sure about exceptions to the mandate for the state as a whole but there are exceptions in some places of this county.
Like within the incorporated town of Paradise, if you are rebuilding in what was previously a subdivision, you pretty much must, if wasn’t a subdivision you don’t HAVE to but. But if you don’t put up the solar it’s gonna cost you in the Title 24 energy calcs. So it’s usually going to be in your best interest to put up at least the minimum even if you don’t HAVE to.

My father moved from Los Angeles to Kentucky this last year. I bet that is exactly how he feels right now lol.

I'm in the Midwest and the worst natural disaster I can even anticipate in my mind is a tornado although there hasn't been a bad one here for decades. Are you relatively safe where you are now Aero? I noticed in some of the pictures of your current place there are little or no trees around.
The thing is WE are being told WE have the strongest military by far and Russia is in decline,I'm not worried about RUSSIA,they just have ALOT of end game weaponry and Ukraine has shown they have issues all over the board.TELL the TRUTH about CHINA,go on Wikipedia and look at the modern fleet they are putting out,the new ships in the pipeline that are COMING. In 20 yrs. they've gone from a coastal navy to a blue water fleet on the rise big time.Look at our Aegis cruisers all built in the 90's ,updates? so what, I can see rust on the hulls when they are at sea.When we accidently bombed the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia in the 90's,they were pissed BUT,if that happened now they wouldn't react the same way,and in another 20 yrs??? WE NEED a appeal by the Pres. of NATIONAL URGENCY telling of the coming storm,WE have to set up a RESTORE AMERICA fund that the rich and every other citizen can voluntarily fund,the ULTRA RICH can donate and be given plaques on display in Congress that declare them GREAT PATRIOTS to get their props. Congress can legislate and police this fund say 25% to the NAT. DEBT reduction,25% to infrastructure including hardening elect. grid,shipyard infrastructure,military procurement reform,25% National infrastructure highways,bridges,mfg. investment,etc.,25% to defense spending to offset 25% deducted from fed budget and forwarded to S.Security/Medicare to make it solvent. Something on the idea of this template is the ONLY way we can dig out,a National appeal involving every citizen that can contribute,even a 100$ a yr. from modest Americans can have effect and the rich know the money they donate is not going to far-left or far right policies but to GRAVE STRICTLY MANDATED issues.The elephant in the room is truth HAS to be admitted,A SLICE of HUMBLE PIE and it hurts and requires honesty and humility. A program on this idea could foster national pride akin to the WW2 spirit and bring some much needed "all in it together" unity. Our service people deserve better,our nation deserves better,desperate times = desperate measures,we have to admit the problem to fix the problem,we can't compete w/China on a 1 to 1 basis as they are an authoritarian regime and the STATE says what goes and pay peanuts to workers,but we can do a hell of a lot better, and coupled w/allies(Japan/S.Korea) can pool our mfg and coupled w/KARMA the USA has as an almalgamation of peoples w/freedoms to prevail over the evil intentions of the CCP. caveat this is China's CCP govt.,I have NO issues w/China's people and respect their long lived culture.

Russia is absolutely not in decline, in spite of what the mainstream news may tell us.
Rachel Maddow has admitted to lying, yet she's going back on MSDNC five nights a week for $25 million a year.
It Is Happening, While It's Happening
The words of playwright Harold Pinter's 2005 Nobel Prize acceptance speech speak volumes about outlets like Consortium News and the so-called anti-disinformation industry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH96tuRA3L0&t=5s "It never happened. Nothing ever happened. Even while it was happening

The ongoing campaign to manufacture consent for illegal wars is aggression with Iran and China is as misguided foolhardy as it is based on disinformation. Xi is defending himself from US by building up China's military; let no one fool you into thinking otherwise. That makes him prudent, not an enemy. This campaign is one of towering stupidity and the extent to which it succeeds only serves to show the word the extent to which the military industrial complex controls American foreign policy.
The Asian continent is, with the possible exception of India, turning its collective back on the United States and our "Western alliance" of vassal States and going their own way. We are bring told this is a terrible threat but that's simply not true. They want to develop and the United States has stood in the way for decades, so who is actually the bad guy?
Yes, the United States is not getting good value for the TRILLION DOLLAR budget spent annually on "defense" and the Pentagon has thumbed its nose at Congress on multiple occasions when told to give an accounting of how it spends the taxpayer's money. That's a hint; runaway corruption has hollowed out country out.
The answer is not to beg the rich for pennies under the guise of "patriotism," it's to demand they pay taxes or forfeit their assets!
