Ready, Set, Go! A Wildfire Preparedness Workshop
Special Topic - How Does the THREAT of Fire Affect Your Homeowner’s Insurance?
Our shared goal is to create a Fire-Adapted Community. Wildfires pose a significant threat, burning homes, displacing families, and endangering firefighters. They also degrade water quality and cost our community millions of dollars. But together, we can prepare and break this cycle.
Your involvement is crucial in this endeavor.
