Your free Wildfire Risk Home Evaluation is your personalized roadmap for wildfire preparedness.

Your Wildfire Risk Report may include photos, location details, and prioritized recommendations for defensible space, vegetation, vents, gutters, fences, decks, and materials near your home.

Some fixes take an hour (clearing gutters, moving the doormat). Others take more planning (replacing a wood fence section). Luckily for you, your report helps you know where to start. It’s time to take action!

Su Evaluación de Riesgo de Incendios en el Hogar gratuita es su guía personalizado para la preparación contra incendios.

Su Informe de Riesgo de Incendios puede incluir fotos, detalles de ubicación y recomendaciones priorizadas para el espacio defendible, la vegetación, las ventilas, las canaletas, las cercas, las terrazas y los materiales cerca de su hogar.

Algunas mejoras toman una hora, como limpiar las canaletas o mover el tapete de la entrada. Otras requieren más planificación, cómo reemplazar una sección de cerca de madera. Por suerte, su informe le ayuda a saber por dónde empezar. ¡Es hora de tomar acción!

Earlier today, contracted wildfire-mitigation crews working for the City of San Rafael were conducting vegetation-reduction activities on City owned land on San Rafael Lincoln Hill when a fire ignited within the treatment area. Preliminary information indicates the fire was accidentally sparked by the crew’s equipment.

The crew immediately called 9-1-1 and attempted initial suppression using the fire-fighting tools required under their vegetation-management contract. San Rafael Fire Department units quickly arrived and contained the fire to less than half an acre within 30 minutes. Existing fire roads and prior fuel-reduction work significantly aided containment efforts and reduced the risk of expansion. No structures were threatened, no evacuations were required, and no injuries were reported. Alert Marin, Nixle, and social media was utilized to inform the community and reduce additional calls to 9-1-1.

If your home or neighborhood will soon undergo a Wildfire Risk Home Evaluation, the evaluation checklist can help you spot simple fixes before inspectors arrive.

You can look for the same things they’ll be checking: dry grasses and weeds, dry vegetation, ladder fuels, and combustible materials such as outdoor furniture, doormats, garbage bins, lumber, and organic mulch within 5 feet of the building.

A quick walk around your property now can help you know what’s necessary so you can get a jump on it.

Check the list. Take action early. Then review your Wildfire Risk Report and work through your prioritized tasks. Mark completed tasks as “resolved” in your report.

Feel good about what you accomplished!

National Preparedness Month may be ending, but preparedness doesn't stop here. Make it a habit to check your go bag, update emergency contacts, and review your plan every few months. Test your smoke alarms. Refresh expired supplies. Talk with your family about what's changed. Being ready isn't a one time task, it's a lifestyle. Keep building on what you started this month, all year long.
El Mes Nacional de Preparación puede estar terminando, pero la preparación no se detiene aquí. Haz un hábito de revisar tu mochila de emergencia, actualizar tus contactos de emergencia y repasar tu plan cada pocos meses. Prueba tus detectores de humo. Reemplaza los suministros vencidos. Habla con tu familia sobre lo que ha cambiado. Estar preparado no es una tarea de una sola vez, es un estilo de vida. Sigue construyendo sobre lo que empezaste este mes, todo el año.
