The purpose of the Regional Area Safety Task Force (RAST) is to speak with a unified, forward thinking voice to facilitate regional collaborative fire shed management planning and local implementation activities that foster safe, sustainable communities.

Southern California has incurred an excess of $6 billion dollars in costs due to catastrophic wildfire damage since 1993. In response representatives from seven Southern California counties: Los Angeles, San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, Ventura and Santa Barbara have come together to act on a regional basis to effectively and proactively implement high priority fire shed management projects.
