Wildfire Preparedness
Wildfire is a natural part of our forests. It has threatened communities before and will do so again. That’s why it’s important to act now. We encourage everyone to “Own Your Zone” to help protect your home and neighborhood from wildfire.
Knowing what steps to take before, during, and after a wildfire evacuation can make a big difference. This guide provides simple, clear actions to help you stay informed, prepared, and ready to respond.
Wildfires can have devastating impacts, making it essential for communities to unite and explore ways to reduce risk, protect lives and property, and strengthen resilience in the face of large-scale emergencies.
Wildfire Risk Home Assessments help homeowners reduce wildfire danger by reviewing their property and providing tips for creating a prevention plan.
