Community Wildfire Protection
Basics
Goal Description
The goal of Community Wildfire Protection is intrinsically linked with Forest Resilience, underscoring a holistic approach that not only fortifies communities against the threat of wildfires but also enhances the resilience of surrounding forests. By implementing measures aimed at reducing wildfire risks, adapting to potential impacts, and ensuring effective emergency responses, this strategy fosters safer, more resilient communities. Efforts include advanced planning to mitigate risks, reducing hazardous fuels at the wildland-urban interface to prevent fire spread to populated areas, creating defensible spaces and hardening homes against ignition, upgrading firefighting infrastructure for better response, and optimizing evacuation routes for rapid egress during fires.
