Disaster Response:
State Governments
The links here are contact and informational sources for State governmental offices, governor, DEQ, DOT, forestry, extension, etc and are given along with some disaster reference material to assist states, communities, landowners, service providers and others to understand the process of disaster preparation and response on a state level particularly as it applies to woody debris and timber.
It should be noted here that in a disaster situation all branches and departments of a state government including finance, health, marine resources, development authority and others not listed here play vital roles in planning, response, and recovery. Being excluded from this site is simply a reflection of this web site being focused on the utilization and response to woody debris and salvage timber.
There are also links to University Extension Services and Forestry Associations. Specific forestry information on a state level can be obtained from both Forestry Associations and State Extension quickly after a forestry-related disaster.
