Statement Note 1 The Ojai Valley Fire Safe Council had a successful and expansive year, including the opening of an office in downtown Ojai, CA. The office has become a hub for wildfire activities throughout the County. Our Community-Supported Grazing Program (CSGP) continued to facilitate prescribed grazing for fuel reduction and grazed over 200 acres in the Ojai Valley. The CSGP also held a very successful statewide Grazing Planning Summit with broad, diverse participation across the state with grazers, fire safe councils, government agencies, land trusts and conservancies, academics, landowners, and indigenous representatives. We worked with State Senator Monique Limon and other organizations on drafting legislation (SB 675) to promote and clarify the role of prescribed in reducing wildfire risk while enhancing ecosystem health. We continued to build and the enhance the reputation of our grazing program, including participation in CAL FIREs Rangeland Management Advisory Committee and regional planning and collaboration. Four major projects were successfully launched: (1) Fine-Scale Risk Mapping & Digital Dashboard, (2) Countywide Ember Cast Modeling and Mapping, (3) Wildfire Vulnerability & Evacuation Assessment, and (4) development of the first ever Ojai Valley Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). Projects 1-3 will be integrated into the CWPP. Completion of all four projects is scheduled for January 2024. We were also awarded funding from the California State Coastal Conservancy to expand aspects of Project 3 above to assess the vulnerability of specific critical infrastructure in the County. This work was requested by the County of Ventura to assist in the updating of the Safety Element of the Countys General Plan. This work is scheduled to commence in January 2024. We continued to build the Ventura County Wildfire Collaborative (VCWC) in partnership with the other Fire Safe Councils in the County of Ventura, Ventura County Fire Department, and Ventura County Resource Conservation District. The VCWC held City Townhalls across the county and had a successful meeting with municipalities and other agencies across the county to ascertain their needs and concerns in their jurisdictions for wildfire preparedness and safety. The VCWC also began formation of the Ventura County Wildfire Coordinating Group. The mission of the Coordinating Group is to Establish a countywide collaborative to design and evaluate comprehensive wildfire resiliency strategies to prepare for, mitigate, respond to, and recover from wildfire for Ventura County neighborhoods and communities located in the Wildland Urban Interface now and into the future. This group will help ensure that wildfire education within the County is disseminated properly, effectively, and equitably to the most vulnerable communities. We also began participation in the States County Coordinator program. We held an Open House which was widely attended by the Ojai Vally community and local and state government representatives to announce and educate the public about this program. We provided staff training for Home Ignition Potential and Home Hardening Assessments and partnered with the County Coordinator to provide these assessments throughout our program area of the Ojai Valley and the Ventura River Watershed.
