CA AB2908

Prohibits navigation application companies from directing traffic within a one-mile radius of areas designated as very high fire hazard severity zones by the Director of Forestry and Fire Protection.

Requires navigation applications to display warnings to drivers when wildfires, deenergization events, states of emergency, local emergencies, or red flag warnings are occurring in very high fire hazard severity zones.

Empowers the Office of Emergency Services to impose civil penalties on navigation application companies for violations, with the specific penalty amount to be determined.

Defines key terms including "deenergization event" (intentional temporary electrical service termination to prevent wildfires), "navigation application" (platform using algorithms to direct drivers), and "wildfire" (unplanned unwanted wildland fire).

Adds Article 6.6 to Chapter 7 of Division 1 of Title 2 of the Government Code to establish these requirements and enforcement provisions.
