Title: Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) (FSM 2523) | |
Abstract: The changes proposed to FSM 2523, Burned Area Emergency Response, would provide clear direction on the objective, policy, and responsibilities for the BAER program. This revision is needed to: * Clarify the objective of the BAER program. * Provide clear policy for regions/forests to conduct post-fire emergency stabilization while applying appropriate cost-constraints in order to avoid fire transfer of funds. * Assign approval (decision) authority to the regional foresters (currently the WO director of WFW). * Provide a definition of a BAER emergency. * Define several other key terms. * Enumerate the program constraints. * Clarify the distinction between the BAER and post-fire rehabilitation programs. * Establish new process for the BAER program. * Establish oversight for program accountability. | |
