CAL FIRE to Hold Virtual Public Workshop on California Wildfire and Landscape Interagency Treatment Dashboard on November 14, 2023

November 8, 2023 – As California takes bold steps towards achieving its ambitious wildfire and landscape resilience goals, two crucial elements emerge – transparency and efficient planning tools. The Golden State is taking a giant leap forward with the beta version of the California Wildfire and Landscape Interagency Treatment Dashboard!

The Treatment Dashboard displays wildfire and landscape resilience projects from state and federal agencies in a single web-based interactive tool. Now that some time has passed since the Dashboard’s beta release, we want to hear from users and gather input to improve how data is accessed and displayed to ensure we are providing transparency and effective planning information on statewide wildfire resilience treatments.

Explore the Dashboard and learn more about the Dashboard and register to join us at the virtual public workshop on Tuesday, Nov. 14, 2023, from 2:00 P.M. – 3:30 P.M. https://wildfiretaskforce.org/treatment-dashboard.
