Website Helps Communities Take Responsibilty for Wildfire Risk

With the dry summer months upon us, some communities may be (or currently are) in danger of wildfires. NFPA's new Fire Adapted Communities website offers information on how communities can prepare for and reduce the risk of wildfires. The site details information on how to protect your house, details geographical regions and the risks they may have, and what role community members play in the event of a wildfire. In addition, the site explains how your community can become a fire adapted community and take responsibility for its wildfire risk.
