Community Led. Community Informed. Community Driven.
Our Mission
Firebrand Resiliency Collective supports community solutions for long-term recovery, resilience, and preparedness in the face of natural disasters.
Our Programs
READY NOW
Ready NOW – Neighborhoods Organized for Wildfire
Firebrand’s Ready NOW program helps neighbors work together to prepare for wildfire — from the home outward. We connect residents with resources, training, and each other to build Fire Adapted Communities across Jackson and Josephine Counties. From risk assessments and home hardening to evacuation planning and Firewise USA® communities, Ready NOW turns lessons learned into action that protects what matters most.
Zone Captains
Zone Captains – Recovery at the Speed of Relationships
Born in the aftermath of the 2020 Almeda Fire, the Zone Captains Program is led by fire survivors for fire survivors. These trusted community leaders bridge the gap between residents and recovery systems — providing resource navigation, hosting survivor meetups, and advocating for systemic solutions. More than a support network, Zone Captains have been a driving force in rebuilding our valley and shaping a more resilient future. Today, Zone Captains continue to serve as an access point for OHCS ReOregon HARP assistance, and their legacy is shaping FRC’s Community Liaisons Program to bring the same relationship-based approach into wildfire preparedness and resilience efforts across Southern Oregon.
Loss and Recovery Project
Who is rebuilding? Who is already back home? What are the plans for the businesses affected by the fire, and when can we expect the affordable housing to land? Firebrand Resiliency Collective has launched a series of dashboards to help answer these very questions. The dashboards are visual, map-based portals of information that provides an intuitive way to understand recovery on a neighborhood and community level. Explore our community’s recovery today.
Support Our Mission
Achieving our mission would not be possible without the continued support of our local community, dedicated foundations, private donors, government agencies, and the countless others who continue to reinforce our approach to community resilience. Together, we can overcome the many obstacles of wildfire recovery on the path to restoration. Please, consider supporting our work today.
