Join us for a FREE 2-hour seminar on wildfire preparedness for San Anselmo and Ross Valley residents.
As Marin residents, we all share responsibility to be prepared for wildfires. Wildfires are a natural part of our environment, and it’s imperative that we build our homes, maintain our landscapes, and prepare our families for the next major fire.
Learn about Marin’s wildfire history and current hazard and risk, and what you can do about it, from the wildfire experts at Marin County and Ross Valley Fire Departments, and FIRESafe MARIN.
• Are you and your family prepared to safely evacuate when a wildfire strikes?
• Learn about local evacuation routes and notification systems.
• Is your home vulnerable to igniting from wildfire embers?
• Learn how to make your home resistant to igniting during a wildfire.
• Does your home have adequate Defensible Space?
• Learn about fire-resistant plants and landscaping.
• Are you interested in working with neighbors and land managers to reduce fire risk in your community?
• Learn about local fire codes, ordinances, and defensible space requirements.
• Learn about countywide and local initiatives to reduce risk and improve wildfire safety for all Marin residents..
