Completed
TA is requested to create GIS maps with parcel data layers, including property owner data, creating defensible space maps for needed treatment, and conducting outreach to property owners requesting voluntary compliance. We need GIS mapping and integration of an online database to design a process that SFC volunteers can follow to monitor and track parcel data, landowner contacts and access permissions, scheduling, home hardening inspections, chipper days programs, and roadside fuel reduction projects. Training is needed so SFC volunteers can use and maintain the systems for long-term maintenance and monitoring of defensible space.

General Information
Project Description Narrative (1,000 character limit)
The Brooktrails subdivision is considered by fire agencies to be one of the highest risk areas in the state. In addition to being a "one way in and out" community, the subdivision has 1500 homes completely interspersed into the 4500 vacant lots and 2500 acres of forested greenbelt. Due to a building moratorium most of the vacant lots cannot be developed, so many property owners are unresponsive to legal notices requiring them to abate vegetation on the property. TA is requested to create GIS maps with parcel data layers, including property owner data, creating defensible space maps for needed treatment, and conducting outreach to property owners requesting voluntary compliance.

Project Types
Project Types
GIS specialists will assist with the development of maps and other tools for identification and outreach to landowners of priority parcels for vegetation abatement on vacant lots in the Brooktrails subdivision.
Technical assistance with GIS/mapping provides capacity currently lacking in the organization.
This project will develop an outreach plan to absentee landowners in the Brooktrails subdivision and conduct outreach to acquire permission for vegetation abatement projects on vacant lots.
Fuels management on vacant lots will reduce community vulnerability to fires.
