Data received has been processed into the State and Federal databases. Please refer to pages 120 through 138 to see if your fire department has contributed to the information in this report. Based upon incidents received, New Jersey fire departments responded to 397,945 incidents in 2006. Data submission is broken down as follows: Of the 745 fire departments in the state, 719 (96%) submitted data. Note: 25 fire departments submitted less than six months of data. 26 fire departments did not submit any data. The number of fire departments in the state differs from 2005 due to the merging of two departments in Somerset County (East Franklin Twp. Fire Co. and Community Vol. Fire Co. #1). Data in this report does not include military installation fire department data. Military installation fire departments report directly to the Department of Defense. All of the charts included in this report are based on 2006 totals unless otherwise specified. www.nj.gov/dca/dfs 99 NEW CATEGORY ADDED Please note, a new category has been added in some charts called “Information Not Provided By FD”.

  • Chapter 2 What's
    Chapter 2 What’s New Requirements §201.6(d)(3) and §201.7(d)(3): A local jurisdiction must review and revise its plan to reflect changes in development, progress in local mitigation efforts, and changes in priorities, and resubmit it for approval within 5 years in order to continue to be eligible for mitigation project grant funding. The 2014 Butte County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) contained descriptions of their planning processes, the risk assessments of identified hazards for the Butte County Planning Area and mitigation strategies for reducing the risk and vulnerability from these hazards. Since approval of this plan by FEMA, progress has been made by the County, the five incorporated communities, and two special Districts as participating jurisdictions to the 2014 LHMP on implementation of the 2014 mitigation strategies. As part of this LHMP Update, a thorough review and update of the 2014 County LHMP was conducted to ensure that this Update reflects current community conditions and priorities in order to realign the updated mitigation strategy for the next five-year planning period. This section of the Plan includes the following: ➢ What’s New in the Plan Update. Section 2.1 provides an overview of the approach to updating the Plan and identifies new analyses, data and information included in this LHMP Update to reflect current community conditions. This includes a summary of new hazard and risk assessment data as it relates to the Butte County Planning Area as well as information on current and future development trends affecting community vulnerability and related issues. The actual updated data, discussions, and associated analyses are contained in their respected sections within this LHMP Update.

  • Scott Mclean: from the CAL FIRE Information Center, I'm Scott Mclean with the CAL FIRE Report for Monday, September 9, 2019. L
    Scott McLean: From the CAL FIRE Information Center, I’m Scott McLean with the CAL FIRE Report for Monday, September 9, 2019. Last week, fire activity kicked into high gear starting with another round of dry lightning across much of the north early in the week, and continuing into the weekend with some high winds and very low humidity. In all, 361 new wildfires sparked in the last week in California, of which 239 were in CAL FIRE’s jurisdiction. You can see that our yearly acreage stats took a significant jump as well, with 47,847 acres now burned across CAL FIRE’s jurisdiction this year, for a grand total of 128,750 acres across all jurisdictions. Switching over to our statewide fire map, you can see that as of today, firefighters are currently battling 18 significant wildfires from San Diego County all the way north to Siskiyou County. A good portion of those were sparked by that lightning that I mentioned earlier, especially those up north and in the higher elevations. Let’s zoom in for a closer look at a few of the larger significant fires. We’ll start in Tehama County with the Red Bank Fire. That fire started on Thursday afternoon in a very remote location West of Red Bluff, making firefighter access very difficult. With more on the Red Bank Fire, Deputy Ops Chief Jarrod Clinkenbeard prepared this video with the latest. Jarrod Clinkenbeard: Hello, I’m Jarrod Clinkenbeard, Deputy Operations, CAL FIRE Incident Management Team 5. Today’s situational update for the Red Bank Incident for Monday, November 9.

  • Disaster Related Services   
    11/17/2017 Disaster Related Services Disaster Related Services The California Employment Development Department (EDD) provides a variety of services to individuals and businesses impacted by disasters in California. These range from assistance for those who may have lost a job due to the disaster, to employers who are forced to shut down operations. Federal Disaster Unemployment Assistance for Wildfire Victims Workers, and particularly self-employed individuals, who lost their jobs or had their work hours substantially reduced as a result of the recent wildfires in California can now apply for unemployment benefits under the Federal Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) program. President Trump’s federal disaster declaration opens the way to provide some financial assistance to those who were affected by the fires, but who do not qualify for regular state unemployment insurance benefits. That includes those in Butte, Lake, Mendocino, Napa, Nevada, Orange, Sonoma, and Yuba counties who meet at least one of these conditions: Worked or were self-employed, or were scheduled to begin work or self-employment in the disaster area. Self-employed individuals in particular most often benefit from having DUA available. Can no longer work or perform services because of physical damage or destruction to the place of employment due to the fires, or cannot reach work because of the disaster. Haven’t worked long enough, or earned enough in wages to qualify for regular state unemployment benefits. Suffered an injury in the fire that prevents them from working, and who don’t qualify for State Disability Insurance. Became the head of their households because of a death caused by the disaster.
