What a powerful video about how to prepare yourself for After the Fire. Defensible Space and home construction are two pieces of the puzzle. Preparing for the outcomes of large fires is the final piece in ensuring your and your neighbor's resiliency to large wildfires.

New Fire Adapted Communities Network Website

A new and improved website, fireadaptednetwork.org, is up and running for everyone who is working towards Fire Adapted Communities. An overview of the site is below.

This new website has basic information about the FAC Learning Network, as well as Network resources and hundreds of blog posts related to community wildfire adaptation. We're especially excited about a new section that facilitates FAC practitioners connecting with their peers. 

Some things you can do:

· Visit our member map and create a profile (for yourself and/or your organization) to join our online group of community wildfire resilience practitioners.
·  Follow us on Twitter and "Like Us" on Facebook .
·  Subscribe to our blog and newsletter to receive updates and helpful resources right in your inbox.
·  Check out our new Fire Adapted Communities Self-Assessment Tool (FAC SAT), created to help communities assess and track their level of adaptation, and create an action plan.
