In 2021, the program launched with tremendous success and motivated many Washington residents in high-risk areas to take action to prepare for wildfire. In fact, more than 50% of participants who signed up also requested a free Wildfire Ready Home Visit or Forest Health Consultation on their properties from a local wildfire expert. Thanks to close collaboration with communities and a coalition of more than 17 community partners, Wildfire Ready Neighbors surpassed expectations in its first year and is expanding to new areas of the state touched by wildfire.
