FEMA Grant Project Update

Dear FEMA Project Participant,

We want to sincerely thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to navigate the complexities of the FEMA PJ0497 Hazard Mitigation Grant project. As a 501(c)(3) grassroots nonprofit, we recognize the significant delays that have occurred and truly appreciate your commitment throughout this process.

The Butte County Fire Safe Council has been facing almost daily changes and uncertainties regarding federal funding, with little to no clear information about FEMA or other federally funded projects. Given these challenges, we are actively assessing the viability of this project to ensure that the BCFSC does not jeopardize its ability to serve you now and in the future.

Due to the factors outlined above, participants in the FEMA project should expect significant delays in project implementation. The Butte County Fire Safe Council remains dedicated to finding solutions and securing alternative funding to continue supporting landowners like you.

In the meantime, if you have a hazardous tree on your property that you believe poses an immediate threat and you are able to remove or mitigate it, we strongly encourage you to act as soon as possible.

Participants can call our office at 530-877-0984 to learn what solutions are being explored for their community through current alternative funding sources.

We remain dedicated to supporting you and your community.

With appreciation,
The Butte County Fire Safe Council
