UC Cooperative Extension and Placer County Office of Emergency Services would like to share the Placer County Firewise Community Volunteer Reporting Tool! This free, voluntary tool is designed for Firewise Community members and leaders to digitally report their volunteer hours and activities in real time, providing residents with a straightforward way to report their volunteer hours.
This tool can also assist Firewise Community leaders when reporting is due; UCCE will compile all the data for your community for the year and send it to you in a summarized format. The survey tool will also store the data indefinitely, allowing communities to track changes in volunteer investments and activities over time and use these metrics in grant applications or reports. Note: All information submitted to this survey will only be used by Firewise Community leads for NFPA-related reporting and by UCCE and Placer OES for internal use and planning. Personal information or individual residential activities will not be shared without consent.
The survey tool is run through ArcGIS Survey123. This survey can be completed on your computer, smartphone or tablet in under five minutes – you just need access to the internet.
