04:24 PM -- Public Testimony

Ms. Diana Blum, representing herself, came to the table to discuss the Wildfire Insurance and Forest Health Task Force Report. Ms. Blum provided a handout on her presentation to the committee (Attachment G). She stated that she has been working on a fire and safety committee in Genessee. She shared her concerns that homeowner's associations were not represented on the task force, that the state budget does not adequately support healthy forests, and that state and federal lands have room for forest health improvement and should also be required to undergo the Colorado Wildlife Risk Assessment Portal (CO-Wrap) scoring process.
