California Fire Safe Council (CFSC) is pleased to announce additional funding for the County Coordinator Grant Program. The objective of the County Coordinator Grant is to educate, encourage, and develop countywide collaboration and coordination among wildfire mitigation groups. Program funding will cover administrative costs relevant to county-wide coordination efforts, including but not limited to salary, support, and administrative costs for a designated County Coordinator.
The County Coordinator Program serves as a mechanism to build capacity among mitigation groups and develop strong partnerships between state and local mitigation practitioners by:
- Assessing strategies to promote and develop county-wide CWPPs and improved planning processes.
- Promoting the integration of County Coordinators and their networks with local CAL FIRE Units.
- Supporting state-wide data collection.
- Working to scale up mitigation, preparedness, and outreach activities in each funded county.
- Building strong, collaborative mitigation practitioner networks, from the county to the grassroots level.
Funding for this project provided by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection’s (CAL FIRE) Wildfire Prevention Grants Program as part of the California Climate Investments Program. Funding #5GG23125.
