National Cohesive Strategy (3) Wildfire Response: All jurisdictions participate in making and implementing safe, effective, efficient risk-based wildfire management decisions.

National Cohesive Strategy (1) Restore and Maintain Landscapes: Landscapes across all jurisdictions are resilient to fire- related disturbances in accordance with management objectives. (2) Fire-adapted Communities: Human populations and infrastructure can withstand a wildfire without loss of life and property.
