Senate Bill 973 has officially passed out of the California State Senate, marking an important step forward for wildfire resilience efforts across California. 🌲🔥

The bill now moves to the California State Assembly, where it has been referred to the Assembly Natural Resources and Emergency Management Committees.

The legislation would codify and expand the Wildfire County Coordinator Program, a proven partnership between CAL FIRE and CFSC that has supported local coordination, mitigation planning, funding access, and community wildfire resilience efforts statewide since 2021.

Through this program, Wildfire County Coordinators work across California to strengthen local collaboration, support mitigation efforts, connect partners and resources, and help communities take action to reduce wildfire risk.

To date, the program has helped secure more than $104 million for local wildfire mitigation and preparedness efforts statewide.

We’ve launched a new SB 973 webpage featuring legislative updates and additional resources on the statewide impact of the Wildfire County Coordinator Program.
