Region Project Update: Borel Fire Burn Scar Survey & Planning Complete

The Borel Fire Burn Scar Survey project was conducted through the Kern County Fire Mitigation Coordinator grant to assess post-fire conditions and resident needs in areas affected by the 2024 Borel Fire. This emergency services planning initiative focused on identifying potential hazards such as mudslides and landslides in the burn scar area, enabling the county to develop targeted response strategies and support affected communities in preparing for secondary fire-related disasters.
