Kathy Holder will share the story of Utah Post Wildfire Mitigation Team and how you can initiate a team. She will open a discussion at the end of the presentation on the changing federal system & gaps that may need to be filled in the team with the evolving dynamics.
About the team: The cascading effects of post wildfire can bring more devastation to an already battered community. Utah’s Post Wildfire Mitigation Team, established in 2019, is led by the Utah Division of Emergency Management. It brings together Federal, State, private and local partners to meet with communities throughout Utah affected by wildfires. The team discusses actions, makes available resources, and identifies hazard mitigation opportunities to assist communities with the cascading events that can occur post wildfire. Bringing a “One stop shop" to communities.
