The Eatonhurst Postfire BAER, active for 24 days since January 18 in Los Angeles County, aims to address the urgent aftermath of the wildfire through a structured recovery process. This includes three main phases: Fire Suppression Repair, which mitigates damage from firefighting efforts; Emergency Stabilization-Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER), which assesses risks to safety and resources; and Long-Term Recovery. The initial response also involves mulching, seeding, and constructing erosion control measures to alleviate the risk of soil erosion and flooding following vegetation loss resulting from the fire.
Fire Suppression Repair is a series of immediate post-fire actions taken to repair damages and minimize potential soil erosion and impacts resulting from fire suppression activities.
Emergency Stabilization-Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) is a rapid assessment of burned watersheds to identify imminent post-wildfire threats to human life and safety.
