Instructor: Mike Johnson

Community wildfire mitigation effort enhancement through relationship building. Workshop will focus on creating workgroups/committees consisting of various stakeholders such as local fire, state forestry, federal forestry, firesafe counsel, office of emergency services, and home owners associations to mitigate wildfire threats. The course will help guide attendees to leverage resources to meet the needs of reducing fire risks by networking government fuels reduction projects, ensuring community wildfire preparedness plans are up to date, and that our non-profit organizations find resources to seek grants that are limited to them for use on private lands. The workshop goal is to encourage attendees to organize a committee in their community with all the mentioned resources to synergize the most efficient wildfire mitigation through focused and leveraged efforts.
