Forest when you dont have a fire that make it easier and more effective in fighting the fire . Its an excellent question, sir. We spend a large time in cal fire on Public Education and prevention and also with respect to you were talking about fuel, the fuels program, or Vegetation Management program in cal fire, we have a Robust Program throughout the state where we are conducting burning operations and Vegetation Management with prieflt ranch owners and private land owners as well as on state ...

Build upon and leverage what were doing here. Communications, that was one of the first things. Its different with our active duty forces because you see here, we send our aircraft all around the world. We cant necessarily just invest in some components in the aircraft and call it good because those assets may be gone and deployed but we have work arounds for that. We are looking forward to that as well in addition to the training. Lastly is we again kind of relish the opportunity to participate...

But we have work arounds for that. We are looking forward to that as well in addition to the training. Lastly is we again kind of relish the opportunity to participate in the operations against an active enemy. At least here, its fire. We appreciate the fact we can go ahead and enter a Tactical Command air control. Those are operations that are familiar to us and they are, its a great exercise for us tactically as well. We are able to integrate with cal fire itself with the objective being the f...

Any disca planner understands that c2 piece. Second is understand the ics and then take the time to get the training. We put together a pretty robust Training Plan in preparation for this. We did the fema online course, eoc course at nasne, hadr course, trained with cal fire, take the time to take that training. Its tough to fit it in but its important to fit it in and it will make us more effective. We did an exercise back in may in preparation for this and developed a pretty detailed concept o...

Just one, and that is i will pass to my relief to continue to support events like this and look for opportunities to continue to learn how we best in the military can integrate with our civilian and federal contemporaries to be prepared for an eventuality that we hope will never come, but we certainly should be prepared for. So the one thing im passing on is keep the momentum. Thank you, all. One other benefit that was cited in the after action review and also was mentioned today is the chance i...

Friends and neighbors. Sustainment is, its important to us and well maintain it especially on the region side. Were able to have these longstanding relationships while the operating force side goes forward and supports the ongoing efforts, we are able to stay back here and sustain those relationships. Just to follow on that, the Navy Squadrons that provide Fire Fighting capability are a combination of active and reserve components. One benefit of reserve components is more longevity is pilots in...

Being key. We do make loans for insured or underinsured losses. Well take an salmon of the insurance policy. Theres a lot of Lessons Learned here, but i dont want to state a specific percentage about nonfactual numbers. We can get that number. Please. The 108 mendes features youd be interested is your determination as to how many have insurance at how many different. Im assuming you would agree thats critical of the amount of insurance they have when people look to the federal government to step...

With our civilian and federal contemporaries to be prepared for an eventuality that we hope will never come, but we certainly should be prepared for. So the one thing im passing on is keep the momentum. Thank you, all. One other benefit that was cited in the after action review and also was mentioned today is the chance it meet someone else from the other agency. We also heard a lot about training, understanding ics, understanding dsca and thats defense support of civil authorities. Its the Guid...

Complicated. We dont understand under that structure normally. Its very important that my relief understands or any disca planner understands that c2 piece. Second is understand the ics and then take the time to get the training. We put together a pretty robust Training Plan in preparation for this. We did the fema online course, eoc course at nasne, hadr course, trained with cal fire, take the time to take that training.

Fires in california, but if you look at a global disaster perspective where you have a hundred thousand victims like a tsunami or a large scale event, we have yet to experience that in this nation. I think the agreements we have here today and the relationships we develop today are going to be key to mitigate that. The other scenario that we are concerned with is a coordinated aerial incendiary attack by al qaeda. One of the things weve seen already in the European Union is suspect of al qaeda s...
