Staff and partners (US Forest Service and Coconino County) will review current conditions, projected outlook, actions taken or underway, and availability and capabilities of suppression resources.  The briefing is an annual event provided to both City Council and the County Board of Supervisors so they may better understand the dynamics of the approaching wildfire season and the efforts undertaken by all parties to prevent occurrence, prepare the community and the forest for potential impacts, mitigate the hazard to lessen effects, respond to ignitions, and recover from damaging wildfire.   

The following COUNCIL GOALS relate to this issue:
2) Ensure Flagstaff has a long-term water supply for current and future needs
