This assessment illuminates what forest and fire capacities are, why they matter, and who possesses/needs them within California. As part of the Regional Forest and Fire Capacity (RFFC) program,* the Watershed Research and Training Center recently engaged Oregon State University to assess entities active in forest and/or fire management in California. This assessment was administered as an online survey from September – October 2019, and a total of 227 usable responses were recorded. Only one response per entity was allowed, and respondents were encouraged to collaborate with their colleagues as appropriate. Respondents included: nonprofit organizations, resource conservation districts, tribes, collaborative groups, fire safe councils and more.

We and/or other RFFC block-grant awardees may contact you as these recommendations take further form. Thank you again to everyone who completed the assessment!
