Catastrophic wildfires are impacting more and more communities across the globe affecting lives, homes, water, air, land and wildlife.
Use the Wildfire Scorecard to assess your wildfire risk, boost preparedness, and take steps to prevent wildfires in your community.
The Scorecard creates a baseline assessment of how a community is currently positioned through a set of questions that enables it to assess its wildfire resilience.
The score enables measurement of a community's progress in moving forward, or the impact of retrograde steps needed - for example how a community expands into the wildland urban interface (WUI).
The Scorecard is intended to provide multiple benefits such as reduction in the likelihood and/or severity and extent of a potential wildfire occurring in your area; reduction in the risk of loss of life or injury, damage to property, loss of key services, harm to air and water quality in the community, to name just a few.
The Scorecard is designed to encourage holistic thinking about all the elements of wildfire hazard, exposure and vulnerability, at the property, community and landscape scales.
We suggest you start with what and who (Stakeholders) you have at hand, and use the results to embark on the communication, persuasion and dialog required to bring other stakeholders into alignment and into action.
Anyone in the community with direct or contingent responsibility for wildfire risk reduction through mitigation, adaptation, event response and post event recovery.
Also neighborhood or other concerned community members' groups, probably with expert assistance. You may not have responsibility or jurisdiction over issues raised in the scorecard but at least know that issues exist and be prepared to advocate for their resolution.
The ARISE-US/CrowdDoing CWPC Community Wildfire Resilience Scorecard follows the United Nations’ 10 Essentials framework and incorporates cutting-edge resilience principles with a diverse range of readiness factors.
The scorecard enhances existing community wildfire mitigation plans or can serve as an independent assessment tool.
With our comprehensive approach, communities become prepared to develop an action plan that substantially reduces wildfire risk through integrated planning, mitigation, and governance.
The global rollout kicks off with a pilot program enabling communities worldwide to test and refine the Wildfire Resilience Scorecard.
