Wildfire Preparedness
The time to plan is now!
Wildfires can happen without notice and move quickly. Prepare now to improve the safety of your home during a wildfire event.
Home Hardening
Begin the process of evaluating your home for wildfire risks and learn more about the actions you can begin to take today that make your home less of a fire risk during a wildfire event. Home hardening not only works to protect your home and family, but also the homes of your neighbors by reducing flammable material in the area and managing vulnerable areas of your home.
