9 Bi-State Sage Grouse Wildfire Successes

10 Washington Fire 17,790 Acres 9,000 acres of Population Management Unit (PMU) -- Unoccupied Fire – Risk/Benefit Fire carried through trees- removing canopy cover Ground fire mostly low to moderate severity No nest/lek sites affected Summer rain aided regeneration of native species Monitoring site for invasive species

11 Cohesive Strategy Nevada falls under the National Strategy All are DRAFTs Safe and Effective Wildland Fire Response Fire Adapted Communities Resilient Landscapes

12 Safe and Effective Wildland Fire Response Create interagency dispatch liaison/coordinator Create common working principles across all centers Improve interagency run cards Lead technological advances

13 Safe and Effective Wildland Fire Response Develop/standup a radio infrastructure group/committee Cross train across agencies Look at technology options for increased efficiency Examine Continuity of Ops for improvements

14 Safe and Effective Wildland Fire Response Create statewide Wildfire reporting number Complement current center specific numbers Replace existing number on prevention signs and media

15 Fire Adapted Communities Partner with community organizations Broaden community involvement

16 Resilient Landscapes Form a state-wide representative body to implement the Cohesive Strategy Make land treatment applications easier by enhancing cooperation and collaboration between all agencies and stakeholders Monitor tightening of federal smoke regulations Promote education/communication

17 Resilient Landscapes Inter-stakeholder Collaborative Partnership Collect and manage fuel treatment funds Focus on inclusivity, efficiency, resource sharing Interagency prioritization of projects

18 Resilient Landscapes Coordinating and sharing project information with partners Shared monitoring vegetation treatments within the affected ecosystem Coordinate and standardize project implementation and monitoring methods where possible Store data so it is available to all

19 Resilient Landscapes Create a database to store and display fire history, vegetation and fuels projects spatially Foster greater integration and collaborative planning
