In response to escalating wildfire threats, Governor Newsom recently proclaimed a state of emergency to expedite projects that will protect California communities from catastrophic wildfire. Join California Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot and California Environmental Protection Agency Secretary Yana Garcia to hear how state agencies will execute this directive.

Discussion topics included:

• How to request suspension of permitting requirements for priority wildfire safety projects.
• Input on actions that state agencies should take to expedite and expand prescribed and cultural fire projects.
• Plans to update and expand the California Vegetation Treatment Program (CalVTP), a key permit-streamlining tool that has expedited over 500,000 acres of wildfire resilience projects.
