The Healthy Forest Restoration Act (HFRA) places renewed emphasis on community planning by extending a variety of benefits to communities with wildfire protection plans in place. HFRA recognize community plans and priorities have an important role in shaping management on federal and non-federal lands. On July 6, 2005, lightning ignited the Mason Gulch Fire, which grew to over 11,300 acres in less than a week. The fire threatened numerous homes in Custer County and specifically in Pueblo County along Siloam Road, North Creek, and throughout the Beulah Valley area before a change in the weather and extensive fire suppression efforts halted its spread. This incident and its aftermath greatly emphasized the need to develop a strategy for protecting the communities, developments and subdivisions, and other essential infrastructure at risk in the area. In the Summer of 2006, a core decision-making team was formed, composed of the Beulah Area Wildfire Mitigation Council, Pueblo County Department of Emergency Management, Pueblo County Geographic Information System, Pueblo County Sheriff, Rye Fire Protection District, Beulah Volunteer Fire Department, Red Creek Fire and Rescue, Pueblo Emergency Response Teams, Mountain Park Environmental Center, Colorado State Forest Service, Colorado Division of Wildlife, USDA Forest Service, National Weather Service, and Natural Resources Conservation Service. A contractor, Wildland Fire Associates, was hired to assist in the planning process. Some homeowners in the planning area are actively practicing the mitigation measures recommended by FIREWISE, a tool designed to protect homes and other property from the impacts of a wildfire. However, other homeowners have taken little or no action to protect their properties from wildland fire. The inconsistent application of FIREWISE mitigation measures may place their neighbors at increased risk from wildfire. The purpose of this document is to provide stakeholders and those living in the planning area with an overview of existing wildland fuel conditions, share preliminary findings, and recommend a possible course of action that will reduce the impacts of a wildland fire to the community. Pueblo County Community Wildfire Protection Plan 9/20/2006 Page 6 2.0 Introduction 2.1 Background and History of Accomplishments Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPP) are authorized and defined in Title I of the Healthy Forests Restoration Act (Act) passed by Congress on November 21, 2003 and signed into law by President Bush on December 3, 2003. The Healthy Forest Restoration Act (HFRA) places emphasize on community planning by extending a variety of benefits to communities with wildfire protection plans in place. Critical among these benefits is the option of establishing a localized definition and boundary for the wildland-urban interface (WUI). A great opportunity to help shape fuels treatment priorities for surrounding federal and non-federal lands also exists. The CWPP, as described in the HFRA, brings together diverse local interests to discuss their mutual concerns for public safety, community sustainability and natural resources. The CWPP offers a positive, solution-oriented environment in which to address challenges such as local firefighting capability, the need for defensible space around homes and subdivisions, and how to prioritize land management activities – on both federal and non- 1 federal land. Prior to the HFRA, Pueblo County emergency officials, local volunteer fire departments and fire protection districts, the Colorado State Forest Service, the U.S. Forest Service, local homeowners and others recognized the importance of protecting their homes and business from the impacts of wildland fire. To that end, starting in September 2000, a coalition of agencies responsible for wildland fire management in the southwest portion of the county initiated a series of FIREWISE seminars that were presented to those living in the vicinity of Beulah, Colorado City, Rye, and Red Creek. In all, twenty-two meetings were held between 2000 and 2006. Through these meetings and other related activities the vast majority of those living in the planning area have developed a clear understanding of the importance of fuels management, treatment options, and the FIREWISE concept. To further the program, the Beulah Area Wildfire Mitigation Council (BAWMC) was formed and coordinators have been named for neighborhoods in the Beulah area, including but not limited to many of the home owner associations for the subdivisions located in the Beulah Valley and outside the valley along Siloam and 3-R Roads. In 2003, the BAWMC received grant funding. These funds were used to treat a portion of the area, consisting of 52.25 acres on 42 private land parcels. Under a separate 2003 grant, the City of Pueblo received mitigation funding for Pueblo 1 Colorado State Forest Service, 2005.

Pueblo County Community Wildfire Protection Plan 9/20/2006 Page 7 Mountain Park, which is located in the southern portion of the Beulah Valley. Approximately seventy-five acres of the Pueblo Mountain Park have been treated to date using grant funds, matching City resources, and volunteer efforts. The project serves as an area to demonstrate some of the techniques available to treat fuels and what an area may look like following treatment. The Pueblo Mountain Park treatment area ties into an area burned by a wildfire that occurred on February 22, 1996. The fire was ignited by power lines downed by 80 mile per hour winds out of the southwest. The fire threatened the Pueblo Mountain Park and homes along South Pine Drive. The fire was suppressed through a mutual aid response by eight local fire departments, helped by high fuel moisture content and scattered snow on the

    TESTIMONY of RANDY MOORE, REGIONAL FORESTER PACIFIC SOUTHWEST REGION UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE—FOREST SERVICE BEFORE THE UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND REFORM—SUBCOMMITTEE ON ENVIRONMENT August 20, 2019 Concerning WILDFIRE RESPONSE AND RECOVERY EFFORTS IN CALIFORNIA Chairman Rouda, Ranking Member and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss wildfire response and recovery efforts in California. My testimony today will focus on the 2017-2018 fire seasons, as well as the forecasted 2019 wildfire activity this summer and fall. I will also provide an overview of the Forest Service’s wildfire mitigation strategies, including ways the Forest Service is working with its many partners to improve forest conditions and help communities prepare for wildfire. 2017 AND 2018 WILDIRES AND RELATED RECOVERY EFFORTS In the past two years, California has experienced the deadliest and most destructive wildfires in its recorded history. More than 17,000 wildfires burned over three million acres across all land ownerships, which is almost three percent of California’s land mass. These fires tragically killed 146 people, burned down tens of thousands of homes and businesses and destroyed billions of dollars of property and infrastructure. In California alone, the Forest Service spent $860 million on fire suppression in 2017 and 2018. In 2017, wind-driven fires in Napa and neighboring counties in Northern California tragically claimed more than 40 lives, burned over 245,000 acres, destroyed approximately 8,900 structures and had over 11,000 firefighters assigned. In Southern California, the Thomas Fire burned over 280,000 acres, destroying over 1,000 structures and forced approximately 100,000 people to evacuate.

Abstract Between 2017 and 2019, California experienced a series of devastating wildfires that together led over one million people to be ordered to evacuate. Due to the speed of many of these wildfires, residents across California found themselves in challenging evacuation situations, often at night and with little time to escape. These evacuations placed considerable stress on public resources and infrastructure for both transportation and sheltering.

    Understanding California Wildfire Evacuee Behavior and Joint Choice-Making A TSRC Working Paper May 2020 Stephen D. Wong Jacquelyn C. Broader Joan L. Walker, Ph.D. Susan A. Shaheen, Ph.D. Wong, Broader, Walker, Shaheen Understanding California Wildfire Evacuee Behavior and Joint Choice- Making WORKING PAPER Stephen D. Wong 1,2,3 Jacquelyn C. Broader 2,3 Joan L. Walker, Ph.D. 1,3 Susan A. Shaheen, Ph.D. 1,2,3 1 Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering 2 Transportation Sustainability Research Center 3 Institute of Transportation Studies University of California, Berkeley Corresponding Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT For evacuations, people must make the critical decision to evacuate or stay followed by a multi- dimensional choice composed of concurrent decisions of their departure time, transportation mode, route, destination, and shelter type. These choices have important impacts on transportation response and evacuation outcomes. While extensive research has been conducted on hurricane evacuation behavior, little is known about wildfire evacuation behavior. To address this critical research gap, particularly related to joint choice-making in wildfires, we surveyed individuals impacted by the 2017 December Southern California Wildfires (n=226) and the 2018 Carr Wildfire (n=284). Using these data, we contribute to the literature in two key ways. First, we develop two simple binary choice models to evaluate and compare the factors that influence the decision to evacuate or stay. Mandatory evacuation orders and higher risk perceptions both increased evacuation likelihood. Individuals with children and with higher education were more likely to evacuate, while individuals with pets, homeowners, low-income households, long-term residents, and prior evacuees were less likely to evacuate.
