GNAR communities’ proximity to natural lands are part of their appeal, but that proximity also comes with an increased risk of wildfire. While wildfires come with significant risks to persons and property, they are also a normal ecological process and are valuable to the continued health of these areas.  In this way, it is important to find a balance between the needs of the built environment and those of the surrounding natural areas.

For decades, the fire community has been hard at work to improve communities’ ability to mitigate fire risks, respond to fire situations, and recover should a fire occur. This toolkit links communities to resources to help them in their fire resiliency efforts.
