EQUITABLE MITIGATION PROGRAM

Fire Adapted Methow Valley developed and implemented an equity-based wildfire risk mitigation program (EMP) guides and toolkits to help those who are working with historically marginalized, underserved, and overburdened communities to reduce their wildfire risk.  The toolkit includes a report of their findings and lessons learned, a guide for program implementation, and an anticipated timeline for program development and implementation.

ON A MISSION IN WASHINGTON

As handy as it might be, there is no road map or checklist for fire adaptation. The scale of our task and the geographically distinct regions of our state demand that smart people with different perspectives come together. Together, we’re making headway living with wildfire in Washington.
