In this Berkeley Talks episode, Jessica Morse, the deputy secretary for forest and wildland resilience at the California Natural Resources Agency, discusses the current wildfire crisis in California and how we got here, strategies the state is implementing, and lessons they've learned in order to decrease catastrophic wildfires and create more resilient forests.Morse began her Nov. 4, 2022, lecture with a story about the Camp Fire, the nation's deadliest wildfire in a century that killed 85 people and destroyed more than 18,000 structures in Northern California. "The story for me starts Nov. 8, 2018, almost four years ago to the day the campfire broke out in Paradise," began Morse. "I think all of us have some story of knowing where we were that day. It was a game-changer in terms of the deadliest, most devastating fire we've seen in California history. I went up there a couple days later to go help out and volunteer with the relief efforts. And what I saw was striking: We had 54,000 people displaced in the blink of an eye. Most of the people, even a couple days after the fire, were still meandering around in pajama bottoms and slippers because they had fled from their homes from this fire that was moving so quickly.""It was a level of trauma in people that I had not seen firsthand since I had been in an active war zone in Iraq," she continued. "And I thought, 'This is my community. These are our neighbors. This is our state. How is this happening? And how did it get this bad? And what do we do about it?'"And so, I dedicated then my time and energy, as well as many of you have to, trying to solve and answer that question. And so, I joined the Newsom administration. The governor on day one, he declared an emergency on these fires so that we could start investing in the prevention work. And so, that's what I'm going to tell you a lot about today, is how we've transformed and transitioned in California to the scale we're at today."This talk was the Berkeley Rausser College of Natural Resources' 2022 S.J. Hall Lecture in Industrial Forestry.Listen to the episode and read the transcript on Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu).UC Berkeley photo by Scott Stephens.Music by Blue Dot Sessions. Hosted on Acast.

Jessica Morse is the Deputy Secretary for Forest and Wildland Resilience at the California Natural Resources Agency. Our topic in this episode is wildfires, in particular, megafires. Jessica leads California's statewide response to wildfire resiliency. Since 2019, she has secured billions of dollars for wildfire resilience programs, such as community home hardening, forest fuel management (including healthy thinning and fuel break establishment), and watershed health initiatives.Jessica coordinates and collaborates with state and local agencies, conservation groups, and public and private stakeholders. She works to streamline collaboration for quick and effective problem-solving, addressing the scale and urgency of the issue. Additionally, she navigates the state legislature's budgetary cycles to secure the necessary funding for these programs. For those living in California or other fire-prone areas, wildfires are one of the ways that climate change feels most tangible, and it's heartening to hear how strongly the state has responded to the escalation of extreme mega fires since 2018.  In this episode, we cover: [00:00]: Intro[02:02]: Jessica's background in war zones and wildfires[03:37]: Her run for Congress[05:01]: Firsthand experience with the Camp Fire in 2018[07:53]: Joining the Newsom administration as Deputy Secretary for Wildfire Resilience[09:01]: Overview of California National Resources Agency (CNRA)[11:11]: Overview of California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE)[13:50]: The natural and cultural history of forest fire in California[16:13]: The legacy of the Forest Service's fire suppression policy[18:44]: Compounding crises of clear-cutting, drought, and pests creating mega fire conditions[23:02]: The three fronts of wildfire resilience[24:04]: Home hardening and community resilience[27:06]: Fuel breaks[31:34]: Landscape-level resilience[34:34]: Fire's impact on soil chemistry and reduction of water storage[38:18]: Securing significant funding for CAL Fire[46:52]: Scaling workforce development for wildfire projects[48:39]: How goats are helping to mitigate wildfires[49:45]: Challenges with woody biomass from slash piles[54:02]: Overview of California Vegetation Treatment Programmatic Impact Review (Cal VTP) and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process[58:00]: Streamlining regulations to tackle environmental projects more efficiently[59:53]: Collaborating with diverse partners to drive reforestation[01:02:05]: Confronting seed shortages and biodiversity loss caused by fires[01:03:39]: How to get involved in wildfire mitigationRecommended Resources:Ready for Wildfires websiteCAL FIRE Ready for Wildfire AppGet connected: Jessica Morse Twitter / LinkedInCody SimmsMCJ Podcast / Collective*You can also reach us via email at info@mcjcollective.com, where we encourage you to share your feedback on episodes and suggestions for future topics or guests.Episode recorded on May 18, 2023
