Southeast Regional Cohesive Strategy Focus Group Meetings
The National Wildland Fire Management Cohesive Strategy (Cohesive Strategy) is a national, collaborative approach to addressing wildland fire across all lands and jurisdiction. Initiated in response to the 2009 Federal Land Assistance Management (FLAME) Act, the Cohesive Strategy has been developed with input from wildland fire organizations, land managers, and policy-making officials representing all levels of governmental and non-governmental organizations.
In order to identify regional goals, objectives, actions and activities, as well as enhance partnerships and collaborations between stakeholders throughout the southeast, two focus group meetings allowed regional stakeholders to provide input and contribute to the evolution and implementation of the national Cohesive Strategy. The focus group meetings were held July 12, 2011 in Columbia, South Carolina, and July 18, 2011 in Pearl, Mississippi. Learn more.
