California’s New Wildfire & Landscape Resilience Action Plan Needs Your Input
Posted on 07/13/2026
The California Wildfire & Forest Resilience Task Force has released a draft of its new Wildfire & Landscape Resilience Action Plan (2026–2031), a five-year roadmap to guide California in protecting communities, restoring landscapes, reducing wildfire risk, and improving resilience statewide. Public comments on the draft plan are being accepted through August 7, 2026.

The plan builds upon California’s first statewide wildfire resilience strategy, released in 2021. Since then, Task Force partners have invested more than $6 billion in wildfire resilience projects, funding over 2,000 projects statewide and accelerating efforts in fuel reduction, forest health, community protection, and wildfire preparedness.
The new draft recognizes a reality familiar to all Southern Californians: despite significant progress, wildfires continue to burn larger, hotter, and more destructively. The January 2025 Los Angeles firestorms demonstrated just how vulnerable communities remain and why long-term planning and sustained investment are essential. ( Wildfire Action Plan )
Of particular interest to residents, the Action Plan emphasizes:
- Protecting communities through home hardening and defensible space
- Expanding community wildfire preparedness programs
- Reducing unwanted ignitions
- Accelerating landscape-scale fuel reduction projects
- Improving coordination among state, local, federal, tribal, and private partners
- Developing better tools to measure resilience and progress over time

At MySafe:LA, we believe community voices matter. Whether you live in a wildfire-prone area, have experienced an evacuation, lost property to wildfire, or simply care about the future of California’s landscapes and communities, this is an opportunity to help shape the state’s wildfire strategy for years to come.
The Task Force will accept comments on the draft plan through August 7, 2026, before releasing a final version later this year.
