Wildfire Mitigation and Resources
Fire Safe Councils
Local Fire Safe Councils can take many forms. Most are grassroots organizations founded to unite neighbors in reducing their wildfire risk. They do this through activities such as community workdays, improving communication among neighbors, and other programs to aid residents in preventing and recovering from fires.
The purpose of the Fire Safe Councils includes, but is not limited to:
-
FIRE-ADAPTED COMMUNITIES: Helping create and sustain fire-adapted communities;
-
EDUCATION: Supporting outreach and public education on community wildfire resilience, response, and recovery;
-
STEWARDSHIP: Promoting hazardous vegetation management and beneficial fire practices that support ecological function, climate resiliency, and address historical management issues, including maintaining the area’s agricultural and economic viability;
-
VEGETATION MANAGEMENT: Assessing fire risk and working with fire agencies on hazardous fuels reduction efforts;
-
RESPONSE: Supporting safe and effective fire response in Solano County; and
-
RECOVERY: Supporting sustainable post-fire recovery for both communities and landscapes.
