October is National Planning Month! Because great communities don’t just happen—they’re planned. From parks to roads to making sure your neighbor’s backyard doesn’t become a personal racetrack, planning helps create a town we all love living in. Cheers to the unsung heroes who keep our communities thriving and chaos-free (mostly). #nationalplanningmonth #communityplanning #communityplanners #listenengageadvise #plannersaredoers

Bravo. This initiative to boost fuels treatment in the Applegate Valley could be crucial to enhance community resilience. With the mix of local, state, federal agencies, community groups as well as private, industrial, and federal landowners, coordinating these efforts in a place-based manner is difficult. This or a similar approach is needed to address the complex challenges that arise from cross-boundary and multi-agency involvement in fuels reduction in fire prone regions.

BREAKING: Two new fire ant nests have been discovered in Meringandan West, north of Toowoomba. ?? We're running out of time to protect our native wildlife and communities from these tiny killers. If we're going to get eradication back on track, the state and federal governments must implement the recommendations from the recent senate inquiry into fire ants. We need ? more community outreach, education and advertising, ? increased fire ant checks and compliance and ? additional funding and resources.

Five weeks of response and progress in the books. This week the Town hosted a lovely memorial service in Town Square. Recreation & Parks threw a major Halloween party at Town Square. We secured a disaster administration firm help us through what promises to be a lengthy rebuilding process. Much to everyone's relief, debris removal is underway. Initial damage estimates to town property are being developed. Flooded building are drying out. USACE is designing mobile offices spaces, which we are very excited about. Volunteer inspectors have arrived to help us through the substantial damage assessment of floodplain properties. Building permits are rolling in. End of month reports in the Planning & Development department reflect an increase of 115% all which can be attributed to storm damage (because of course we are capturing the data!). I even had time to get into some policy analysis, which is one of my favorite things. A little normalcy goes a long way, and we're happy to see a little more each day. #localgov #localgovernment #nc #wnc #naturaldisaster #publicservice

#FieldNotes: After destroying more than 2,500 homes and businesses, the largest recorded wildfire in Oregon state history left multiple communities along Highway 99 looking to recover. Known as the Bear Creek Greenway, the region came together as part of a unique area action plan with unified goals. With input directly from community advisory committees, the revisioning process positioned the corridor to come back even stronger than before the Almeda Fire. "It’s unusual to do long-range planning for multiple jurisdictions…Following the Almeda Fire, the unique goals of each community impacted were addressed with project advisory committees to create a unified corridor revisioning." Take a closer look at this planning effort with David Sacamano, ASLA to see how community engagement provided the basis for a comprehensive plan designed to redevelop these areas with a focus on smart growth principles.
