Description:

Preparing for wildfires is crucial to making our communities more resilient to the impacts of wildfires. You can dramatically increase your safety and the survivability of your home by preparing well in advance of a wildfire.

Three of the most important steps you can take to mitigate risk and prepare are:

✅ Clear away dead trees, brush, and vegetation within 100ft of your home

✅ Place a wire screen over attic vents and soffits to prevent embers from entering your home

✅ Remove leaves and debris from roofs and gutters

In a couple of days, we’ll share more information on why each of the following steps matters. Before we do, please select the option below that best describes the actions you have or haven’t yet completed to help us establish a baseline for your community’s wildfire preparedness level.
