Implementation
Collaborate with the Sacramento County Regional Parks Department, Metro Fire, and other Sacramento County–based fire districts to continue to reduce wildfire hazards, including, but not limited to, enforcing defensible space guidelines for existing and new development, restoring wildfire-resilient conditions by thinning and removing live or dead vegetation and implementing wildfire fuel reduction action plans, and retaining healthy native trees.
Collaborate with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, CRCRC, the American River Parkway Foundation, the Sacramento County Regional Parks Department, the Sacramento River Watershed Program, resource conservation districts, and other local stakeholders in developing Resource Management Plans for the Sacramento, Cosumnes, and American Rivers.
Benefits: An integrated approach among agencies and organizations to reduce wildfire hazards within the County would ensure that effective fire management extends to a broad geographical area, resulting in more comprehensive protection against future wildfire events.
Timeframe: Midterm
