Local Area Advisors (LAA)s are volunteers recommended by the Director of Emergency Services and appointed by Trinity County Board of Supervisors and serve at the pleasure of the BOS on behalf of the Citizens of Trinity County.

LAAs are available to assist local, USFS Ranger Districts, and Incident Management Teams in providing:
• Local knowledge
• Landscape overviews
• Historical perspectives
• Social dynamics
• Political realities and ramifications
• Economic implications
• Local area citizen’s concerns of an incidents effect on Trinity County and population of affected communities

LAAs remain independent of the Incident Management Team and will serve to represent the citizens of affected communities. LAAs will attend cooperators meetings to advocate and inquire for the protection of the values of Trinity County Citizens.

Trinity County Fire Safe Council is assisting Trinity County OES with the identification and nomination of interested individuals. Trinity County OES will nominate a primary and alternate LAA for each community in Trinity County. Nominees must be willing and able to participate in zoom and/or in person meetings during wildfire incidents, have local knowledge of previous fire activity within the community and past fuel break locations, have the support of local, state, or federal fire chiefs to participate in this capacity, and be able to navigate tense situations with respect for all partners.
