Wildfire Partnerships Resources

Tools and guidance to help communities reduce wildfire risk at scale 

Wildfire Partnership Resources help communities take coordinated, science-based action to reduce wildfire risk. 

Grounded in research on how homes ignite and how fires spread, these resources provide practical, actionable guidance to support: 

  • Community-wide mitigation programs 
  • Homeowner engagement and education 
  • Consistent, measurable risk reduction 

Whether launching a new initiative or strengthening an existing one, these tools help translate wildfire science into real-world action—supporting communities with more survivable, insurable homes and neighborhoods. 

Community Wildfire Risk Reduction Program Framework 

Get the Toolkit – A step-by-step guide to building a local wildfire mitigation program 

This framework provides a practical roadmap for designing and implementing a science-based wildfire risk reduction program. It focuses on the strategies proven to matter most: defensible space and structure hardening.  

Inside the toolkit: 

  • Program planning and partner coordination 
  • Homeowner outreach and engagement strategies 
  • Property-level assessment approaches 
  • Implementation and long-term maintenance guidance 

Designed for fire agencies, community leaders, HOAs, Fire Safe Councils, and Firewise communities, this toolkit includes ready-to-use tools, templates, and guidance to support consistent, measurable progress and is designed to help communities work together to prevent structure-to-structure fire spread.
