Vegetation management is a critical piece of wildfire mitigation.

The type, density, and location of vegetation can have a huge impact on your home's vulnerability to wildfire.

Where do I start?

The best way to start mitigation is by understanding the Home Ignition Zones. This can help you prioritize where work needs to be done. Other helpful tools are listed below:
