This Community Wildfire Risk Reduction Program Framework is designed to enable neighbors to take that step by providing tools for local fire services, Homeowner Associations, community groups, and other partners to:

• Establish a Community Wildfire Risk Reduction Program with the primary focus of structure hardening and defensible space.

• Educate and engage homeowners.

• Conduct parcel-level risk assessments.

• Support homeowners through a system-based risk reduction process.

Our goal is to provide communities with an actionable, science-based framework to reduce wildfire risk.

Wildfire is a multi-generational challenge shaped by more than a century of land-use choices in ecosystems where fire has always been a natural force. Yet we are not powerless. With science-based tools and collective action, communities can reduce risk, protect properties, and build resilience for the future.
