Capacity Needs Survey
SHARE YOUR PRIORITIES FOR CAPACITY INVESTMENTS!
PLEASE RESPOND BY AUGUST 31, 2025
The North Coast Resource Partnership (NCRP) invites partners to participate in the NCRP Regional Capacity Assessment, an online survey that assesses the capacity needs of Tribes, local fire and rescue service providers, RCDs, NGOs, and organizations focused on wildfire and climate resilience in the North Coast Region.
NCRP is partnering with the Department of Conservation (DOC)’s Regional Forest and Fire Capacity program to support the capacity of North Coast Tribes and other entities working to improve forest health and community wildfire resilience, with a focus on investments in economically disadvantaged communities. NCRP and DOC are focused on identifying, prioritizing and supporting a portfolio of landscape scale, multi-objective projects for implementation. To build this implementation portfolio in partnership with entities like yours, NCRP needs to understand and document capacity limitations in the region, and priorities for addressing these capacity limitations.
Based on the needs identified in this Regional Capacity Assessment, NCRP will be developing a North Coast Regional Capacity Enhancement Strategy, which will include recommended capacity investments to support partner projects, planning support, and other needs.
HOW TO FILL OUT THE SURVEY
The survey consists of approximately 50 questions that may take up to an hour to answer. The survey link below will take you to the ArcGIS Survey123 tool, where you can respond to the survey at your convenience. You do not need to fill out the survey in a single session; you can close and re-open the survey from the same device & browser over multiple sessions, and multiple representatives from your organization may contribute. Individual responses will remain confidential. Response data will be summarized and shared in aggregate via graphs and tables.
If you would prefer to do the survey in the form of a Zoom interview with a NCRP staff member who will ask each question and record your response, please contact Sherri Norris or Javier Silva (for Tribal interviews), or Rose Roberts (for non-Tribal interviews). If you have already been interviewed and completed the survey with Sherri, Javier, or Rose via a zoom meeting, please do not do a second survey.
Our goal is to complete all surveys and interviews by August 31, 2025.
