Recovery Project 12:
Promote Defensible Space Standards
Benefits to Community
Reduces Fire Risk: Implementing defensible space standards decreases the chance of wildfires reaching homes by reducing nearby fuel loads.
Increases Homeowner Safety: Educating residents on clear, easy-to-follow standards empowers them to better protect their properties.
Enhances Community Preparedness: Widespread adoption of defensible space practices strengthens overall fire safety in urban and rural areas.
Project Status
The Regional Long-Term Recovery Plan is now complete, and the Jackson County Community Long Term Recovery Group (JCC LTRG) has convened partners and identified project leads. These leads are now beginning the critical work of implementing recovery initiatives to support our community's rebuilding and resilience efforts.
