Recovery Updates, Activities and Progress
Recovery efforts are taking place in Sonoma County on many fronts since wildfires claimed 24 lives, destroyed nearly 7,000 structures, including over 5,100 homes, and burned 110,000 acres in October 2017.
The Board of Supervisors created the Office of Recovery and Resiliency shortly after the fires. The Office’s mission includes working with fire survivors, the community, County departments, key groups and stakeholders and other local and regional governments to identify, coordinate, facilitate and prioritize recovery efforts.
