Firewise Community Outreach Strategies
During HWMO's Virtual Workshop #2: Outreach Strategies, we go into the different strategies that have been proven to be effective for firewise communities across that country. Sometimes gaining support for fuel mitigation measures, educational efforts, outreach, and engagement events can be difficult. It is our goal that by employing some of these strategies, your community will be able to increase participation in community-wide Firewise activities. (Video: 34 minutes)

What to Have in Your Car in Case of Disaster
“Our cars and trucks take us everywhere we want to go. However, there’s a chance those same automobiles may someday take us somewhere we need to go: in the case of a natural disaster, self-evacuation is sometimes the most efficient route to safety. Your automobile needs to be prepared for the possibility of a natural disaster at all times.”
This article, written by an inspired masters student outlines the essentials that you should easily take with you in the case of an emergency. It is never too early to consider the important pieces of an evacuation; it might just save your life and/or make your life much easier if the time does come to evacuate.
