Access to the project descriptions, mitigation, maintenance, and monitoring requirements are available from this Airtable.
There are a diverse range of project types, goals, and timelines, especially with CAL FIRE grant funded projects. For that reason, it is not uncommon for project activities to overlap multiple fiscal years. For this data, the FY in which it is reported is the signature date of the associated CEQA (or CEQA equivalent) environmental document.
Due to accessibility publishing requirements, the Chaparral Management Program (CMP) and California Forest Improvement Program (CFIP) Environmental Impact Reports (EIR) are not currently publicly posted. The Department is working on updating those documents. In the meantime, if you would like to obtain the original scanned pdf of either, please request via Sacramento Public Comment email provided below.
By posting these CEQA documents and associated reporting details in the Airtable, the Department is complying with Public Resource Code (PRC) § 4137(d) and (f) and other reporting and publishing requirements. For questions about posted documents or data, please email SacramentoPublicComment@fire.ca.gov

Fire Hazard Severity Zones

 Fire Hazard Severity Zones

California’s seasonally dry Mediterranean climate lends itself to wildfires, and in an effort to better prepare, CAL FIRE is required to classify the severity of fire hazard in areas of California. 

The History of Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps
Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps arose from major destructive fires, prompting the recognition of these areas and strategies to reduce wildfire risks. Legislative response led to mandated mapping across California under the California Public Resources Code 4201-4204, encompassing all State Responsibility Areas (SRA).

What are Fire Hazard Severity Zones?
The State Fire Marshal is mandated to classify lands within State Responsibility Areas into Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ). Fire Hazard Severity Zones fall into one of the following classifications:

Moderate
High
Very High

The California laws that require Fire Hazard Severity Zones include California Public Resources Code 4201-4204, California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 1280 and California Government Code 51175-89.

Prescribed Fire

 Prescribed Fire
The planned and controlled application of fire to the land under specified conditions, to reduce vegetation and risk from wildfire. 

First-of-its-kind fund provides support and protection for prescribed fire and cultural burning, reducing wildfire risks in California
One of the primary obstacles to increasing the pace and scale of beneficial fire use in California is the difficulty for practitioners to obtain adequate liability coverage, although the rates and losses from escapes are very low. Public Resource Code (PRC) sections 4500 and 4503 establish the Prescribed Fire Liability Fund Pilot Program (Fund). Guidelines have been established by a collaborative group of state agencies, prescribed fire practitioners, burn bosses, and cultural fire practitioners. Enrollment in the Fund is achieved by completing the California Prescribed Fire Claims Fund Online Application. Claims and questions can be sent to liabiltyclaimsfund@fire.ca.gov 

What's a Prescribed Fire?
As a land management tool, prescribed fire is an efficient and cost-effective way to reduce fuels where physical and social conditions are conducive to its use.

California's Strategic Plan for the Expanding Use of Beneficial Fire
The 2024-25 Budget: CalFire—Implementation of a 66-Hour Workweek
(While we think this information would be particularly important if the Legislature significantly expands CalFire staffing, the Legislature may want to consider requiring such a report regardless of its action on this proposal, as it also could help improve overall understanding of wildfire resilience co‑benefits achieved by existing wildfire response staff.) 
Conclusion
The landscape has evolved markedly in a few key ways since the Legislature approved the Unit 8 MOU and the change to CalFire’s workweek in September 2022. First, the condition of the General Fund has deteriorated significantly in the intervening months, making it much more likely that the state will need to adopt significant budget reductions and/or revenue increases. Second, the magnitude of the costs and implications of the 66‑hour workweek change have become much clearer. We now know that when fully implemented, the proposal would have very large state costs, eventually totaling over $750 million annually from the General Fund. Additionally, the administration’s proposed approach would have significant effects on CalFire, resulting in a roughly 20 percent increase in the department’s budget and staffing levels and expanding its operations during months that are relatively low‑risk for wildfires. These changes would, in turn, have various direct and indirect operational impacts on both CalFire and other partner agencies. These impacts—some of which are still not fully clear—were certainly not apparent to the Legislature when it approved the Unit 8 MOU. 
 Given this altered context, the Legislature faces a key decision as to whether the General Fund can sustain implementing the proposed change in CalFire’s workweek in the near term, recognizing that doing so could well come at the expense of making offsetting reductions to ongoing programs elsewhere in the budget and/or adopting tax increases. If the Legislature is not certain that the General Fund can sustain the proposal right now, we recommend that it not move forward with funding the change as part of the 2024‑25 budget. Deferring implementation would provide the Legislature with greater flexibility in the future to determine its preferred course of action in light of potentially evolving budget conditions, while still sustaining its long‑term commitment to improving the health and wellness of the state’s firefighters.

 Forest Health Grants
Funding active restoration and reforestation activities aimed at providing for more resilient and sustained forests

CAL FIRE’s Forest Health Program funds active restoration and reforestation activities aimed at providing for more resilient and sustained forests to ensure future existence of forests in California while also mitigating climate change, protecting communities from fire risk, strengthening rural economies and improving California’s water & air.
Through grants to regionally-based partners and collaboratives, CAL FIRE seeks to significantly increase fuels management, fire reintroduction, treatment of degraded areas, and conservation of forests.
