LAPAC emphasizes wildfire mitigation, Fire Safe Councils and tribal collaboration

Members recommended county support for establishing and maintaining Fire Safe Councils, a neighborhood right‑of‑entry program for chipping/abatement, and policies that favor local vegetation management practices in collaboration with tribes. One member explained many parcels are remote and owner absenteeism makes neighbor‑assisted abatement useful if backed by permissions: "some sort of support of a... permission of... it's a hold harmless" for neighbor‑to‑neighbor work.
