Wildfire Mitigation

Wildfire mitigation refers to the strategies and actions taken to reduce the risk and impact of wildfires. This includes practices like creating defensible space around homes by clearing away flammable vegetation, using fire-resistant building materials, and improving land management through controlled burns or thinning dense forests. Additionally, communities may develop emergency plans and educate residents about fire safety. The goal of wildfire mitigation is to protect people, property, and natural resources while minimizing the damage and frequency of wildfires. Effective mitigation can lead to safer environments and better preparedness in the face of wildfire threats.
