With every fire season, more of California’s landscapes and communities are in need of post-fire resources and recovery tools. The Fire Network provides post-fire programming and resources, including research and monitoring to address ongoing challenges in ecosystem restoration in novel post-fire environments, technical expertise and support for recovering urban and rural communities, and statewide Post-Fire Forest Resilience Workshops to assist private forest landowners recovering from catastrophic wildfire.
Wildfire recovery does not happen overnight. It is a steady process of assessing damage, evaluating new conditions, and deciding on what to do next. Assess your situation and identify potential pathways to recovery by using the resources below.
