Our Firewise application had to include a very thorough assessment plan, following a rigorous set of guidelines by California Firewise. In order to make it possible for us to assemble it, we sent a detailed questionnaire to everyone who had registered their email with the group, and also sent volunteers along all of our roads to make rough street assessments for as many properties as we could.
We received self-assessments from almost a quarter of the property owners in the community. With the street assessments, we were able to use data for 107 our of 108 properties in our neighborhood, an amazing performance!
Attached is the wildland risk assessment that we submitted to Firewise.
