Approach

Conduct post-fire restoration and manage post-disturbance response.

Tactics

  • Identify, prioritize and protect values at risk; initiate programs to assess values and determine best protective actions.
  • Conduct pre-fire planning to improve response time and efficiency, prioritizing key areas at risk to geologic hazard.
  • Conduct post-fire vegetation management and prevent invasives.
