Post-Wildfire Team

Utah’s Post‐Wildfire Team is comprised of State and Federal agency representatives working together to support communities impacted by wildfire. When a large wildfire affects an entire community, Utah’s Post‐Wildfire Team will mobilize to meet with and advise community leaders and emergency managers and host public meetings to educate the community about post‐wildfire hazards and recovery strategies. Additional assistance from community volunteers and local organizations like churches, non‐profits, and business may also be available.   

Request a Utah Post‐Wildfire Team Meeting or call (801) 538-3400 then select option #3 and then option #4 - this is the number DEM set up to reach the Post-Wildfire Team Lead.
