How do I achieve Wildfire Ready Communities?

Gather resources.
Create a board or committee of volunteers to represent your community.

Create a plan.

Execute the plan.
Each year, neighbors complete educational and risk reduction actions identified in the plan. These go towards your site's annual reporting efforts.
