PROJECT WILDFIRE

Project Wildfire is the result of a Deschutes County effort to create long-term wildfire mitigation strategies and provide for a disaster-resistant community. Created by Deschutes County Ordinance 8.24.010, Project Wildfire is the community organization that facilitates, educates, disseminates and maximizes community efforts toward effective fire planning and mitigation. Our mission is to prevent deaths, injuries, property loss and environmental damage resulting from wildfires... Project Wildfire is a national leader and model for wildfire mitigation and community partnerships. Project Wildfire, through an agreement with the CDC Foundation with financial support provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), developed a toolkit for communities who are interested in using the Project Wildfire model.
