Work with your neighbors to create a Fire Protection Safe Community
Wildfires are not bound by property lines! Your safety and property is interconnected with your community’s safety.
Request a Neighborhood Assessment
Would you like a professional assessment of your community's wildfire risk? Coordinate with your Homeowner Association, Property Owner Association, Subdivision Planner, or your version of these kinds of organizing groups and invite a fire professional to visit your neighborhood. The fire professional will outline what you can do to reduce wildfire risk. To identify the fire professional who can assist, view the Travis County Emergency Services District map.
