Number of Communities at Risk (CAR) that are also Firewise Communities

Framework / Assessment
Summary

Shows where specific efforts are being taken by identified at-risk communities to reduce the chances for loss and damage from wildfire. Communities at Risk (CAR) participating in the Firewise Communities USA/Recognition Program develop an action plan to guide residential risk reduction activities, and encourage their neighbors to participate as well. Firewise communities must invest at least $2 per capita in local Firewise actions each year and conduct a “Firewise Day” community event. Communities on the CAR list which are recognized as Firewise Communities may be more prepared and/or resilient in the face of wildfires.
