Wildfire Resilience
Wildfire risk is increasing in Western Washington, but your home can survive a wildfire!
Home Risk Assessment
To find out how you can improve the safety of your property from wildfire, sign up for a FREE and customized on-site assessment. With this assessment you will also receive helpful resources and a report that defines which actions to take to improve your property’s resilience to wildfires.
Community Assistance
Addressing wildfire risk to your property doesn’t have to be done alone. Working together with neighbors in your community allows for a team effort to address your shared risk. One of the best methods for addressing community wildfire risk is through the NFPA Firewise USA® Program. This program provides a framework for communities to learn about and address their wildfire risk together. Some benefits include access to wildfire professionals as well as access to grant and project funding opportunities.
Schedule a community presentation on wildfire risk and preparedness to learn more.

The Wildfire Resilience Team
Since 2019 Whatcom Conservation District has been partnering with us to offer our Wildfire Resilience Program. While each county has their unique settings and circumstances, wildfire doesn’t recognize political boundaries.
