Wildfire Workshops Needs Assessment Survey
Overview of the Wildfires Workshop Project
In 2015 and 2017, massive wildfires (Valley Fire, North Bay Fires) in the wildland‐urban interface produced unprecedented air pollution, water pollution and other environmental hazards. Tribes need to be able to protect their members, their environments and cultural‐resources from these threats. To do so, tribal governments and their agencies must effectively participate in multi‐jurisdictional responses to these hazards.
Pursuant to a grant from CalEPA, the National Indian Justice Center (NIJC) is developing a workshop that will provide information on how to reduce the impacts of toxic pollutants resulting from wildfires on tribal communities. The workshop will be designed for tribal leadership, tribal environmental personnel, tribal EMS personnel, tribal community members, local partners and other stakeholders. The project will serve federally recognized tribes in Sonoma, Lake and Mendocino Counties and provide an online educational resource.
The Wildfires Workshops will include table top exercises that engage tribal and non-tribal personnel in collaborate strategic responses to hypothetical scenarios.
We need your help. Please respond to the following questions and help prioritize the topics that will be presented during the Wildfire Workshops and table top exercises.
