Journey: Our Timeline To Resilience

2024 - Present
2015 - 2019 SSCRA is founded in the aftermath of the Valley Fire. Initially we focus on core recovery issues. Our first funding is from the American Red Cross, helping distribute $100K in disaster assistance to affected families. We begin to meet with local groups to understand long term recovery efforts. Further funding from Cal Fire helps us hold large scale community workshops prior to and after each fire season and to help homeowners improve their fire safety. We start organizing FireWise communities and building active relationships throughout Lake County on full spectrum community resilience strategies. We are invited to Paradise to consult with community organizers there following the catastrophic Camp Fire.
2020 - 2024 A major grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco allows us to create a first of its kind post-wildfire Community Resilience and Development Strategy (link). We continue to cultivate active partnerships within the Cobb Mt. community and throughout Lake County. We receive funding from the California Natural Resources Agency and PG&E's Nature Positive Innovations Fund to promote restoration of local watersheds and creeks guided by Tribal members, building working partnerships with local landowners. We help other communities throughout Lake County organize Firewise communities. We play a key role in the 2023 update of the Lake County CWPP.
2024 - Present Continuing to support local Firewise communities, we receive a US Forest Service grant to create a comprehensive Cobb Mt. Community Wildfire Protection Pl
