• Learn how to evaluate your home's wildfire risk and take steps to protect your property and family.

The Role of Construction and Landscaping

While community-level wildfire risk maps are helpful, the danger to individual homes is largely determined by factors like construction materials and the type of vegetation surrounding the property. Homes built with fire-resistant materials and surrounded by well-maintained, low-flammability landscaping are less likely to ignite during a wildfire. Conducting a home assessment is the best way to understand your specific risk.
