HEALTHY, SAFE AND RESILIENT COMMUNITIES
Address Climate Change and Extreme Event Effects, Impacts and Vulnerabilities
Ruth Lake is the primary drinking water source for two-thirds of the residents of Humboldt County, a source of recreation in Trinity County and the primary recreational source in the Ruth/Mad River Area. Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District needs technical assistance to perform fire recovery around Ruth Lake. We have a small staff that is primarily in Humboldt County with limited expertise in fire recovery. The areas around Ruth Lake affected by the wildfires are in a very remote location.
