 Good afternoon. I'm Mark Gilarducci. I'm Director of the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services. Today we are up here in Plumas County with the state public safety leadership from the California National Guard from Cal Fire, Cal Recycle, and California Highway Patrol as well as our partners from the U.S. Forest Service and our elected leaders to talk about the incident and the impacts that the fire has had to the community here in Greenville as well as the region as a whole and to talk about how we can begin the process for recovery. You know it's unfortunate yet that we are now at another really catastrophic event as a result of wildfire and the conditions that are creating these these fires and today we were able to take a tour of the area meet with our local government partners and talk about how we're going to begin the process of the recovery. At this point we are in the process of doing a damage assessment to take into the totality of all of the losses in the multiple counties that have been impacted by these series of fires. Everything from Placer County in the river fire down south all the way up to Siskiw County and Trinity counties the Monument McFarland fire in the north. So a lot is happening with regards while the fire is still being fought. We are not really waiting. We are working to actively begin the process of getting that damage assessment done and then we'll work with our partners at the Federal Emergency Management Agency to see about getting some additional aid if possible to support the state and the state programs coming together in support of these communities. So with that I'm going to turn it over to Chief Tom Porter from Cal Fire. He's going to kind of give us a quick overview of the fire conditions and then we'll answer any questions. Thanks. Thank you, Director Gillarducci. And really what I want to say quickly here is that while we are moving quickly into recovery mode here and working through what it's going to take to recover in all of these communities, we're not taking any effort away from the firefight here on the Dixie or any of the other large fires that are burning throughout California. Those are interagency responses, federal, state and local all working together and really working primarily to identify those areas where we can protect lives and property and then get some perimeter control on the fires that we have. The concern we have going into the next few days is another bout of monsoonal moisture coming up through Southern California, turning into dry lightning potentially through this area and all the way to the North Coast of California and then into Oregon, Washington as well. So that's of grave concern in the near term. And we're also very well aware that we have a long peak season left in our in this year. So we're going to be at this for months to come. So we need you as the public to be very vigilant, very vigilant in not creating sparks that could ignite vegetation. If it's great, if there's even a blade of grass near you, that is enough to start a fire these days. It is so dry. And the way we've seen this this this burn through live timber in the tens of thousands of acres an hour is unlike anything we've seen other than a few times. And those few times most of them have been within the last year or year or two years. So extremely dry. Take care, identify fires, call 911 know that we have a long way to go. And it's important that we do this. There is way too much of our watershed and timber lands that are burning. This is an economic base, particularly in this part of the state that we can't lose any more of. We've already lost way too much. We need to protect these forests. Thank you. Alright, so in closing, let me just say that all the folks that are up here will be working in a one team one fight effort to begin this process of making sure that we can get the communities back up on their feet and making sure that we're taking care of the needs of the of the survivors of all of these terrible fires. And I want to tell you that if you have suffered a loss and you have insurance to make sure you make contact with your insurance providers now so that they can begin the process of being able to help you navigate through that process. We in the coming days will be working with the counties to set up local assistance assistance centers. In fact, there's been one already open and then closed here in Plumas will be opening again shortly and in some of the other counties as well. So more on that as time goes on with that. Thank you very much.
