Description

Local Solution
(Type of Activity: Community Program Implementation )

Regional Fire, Land-Use, and Infrastructure Governance Structures. Establish regional and local governance tables that bring together agencies, landowners, fire-safe councils, land trusts, and community planning groups to align wildfire response, fuels management, water, land-use, and infrastructure strategies. Integrating wildfire risk into infrastructure siting, access, and maintenance decisions reduces siloed approaches and supports coordinated, fire-adapted landscape planning across jurisdictions.

Existing Examples of Progress: 1. Grassroots organizing with San Bernardino COG to self-organize a fire-safe council. 2. Regional collaboratives (e.g., BayCAN-style structures) are highlighted as effective for overcoming siloed land-management responsibilities.
