What is the primary goal of the strategies implemented through FIRESCOPE?

The primary goal of the strategies implemented through FIRESCOPE is to protect life and property during a disaster. FIRESCOPE, which stands for the Firefighting Resources of Southern California Organized for Potential Emergencies, was developed to improve coordination and resource management in fire incidents, particularly wildfires. The overarching objective is to enhance the safety of both the public and emergency responders by ensuring efficient communication, resource allocation, and tactical operations. This focus on protection and safety is essential in managing emergencies effectively and minimizing the impact of disasters on communities.

While other aspects, such as cost management, training, and reporting, can play important roles in emergency response frameworks, they are secondary to the core mission of safeguarding lives and property. Thus, the strategies and implementation practices under FIRESCOPE are always aligned with this primary aim of disaster preparedness and response.
