The SBCFSC has a strong focus on equitable solutions to wildfire resilience. We have partnered with a local group, Community Environmental Council, to host focus groups with low-income communities across coastal Santa Barbara. These focus groups provide an opportunity for community members to share their thoughts and concerns about wildfires so we can understand the barriers and challenges people face when it comes to being prepared for wildfires. We strive to create a long-lasting relationship with these community groups by strengthening their bond with local government agencies and other organizations so we can all work together to provide solutions for these underserved community members.
