Nevada Wildfire Awareness Month Talking Points
Wildfire can threaten Nevadan communities and impact homes, property and human life. The key to minimizing the wildfire impact in Nevada is proactive communities that take steps to prepare.
In response, every May, Living With Fire and agencies and organizations across Nevada come together for Nevada Wildfire Awareness Month —a statewide campaign dedicated to wildfire education, preparedness, and community action.
We invite you to join us in making this year’s campaign a success and empowering our communities to be Battle Born Wildfire Ready!
Some general tips to help you to prepare for wildfire include:
- Connect with your neighbors to encourage community projects to help reduce the wildfire threat.
- Declutter your gutter and remove dead vegetation from in and around the gutter.
- Change out larger attic and crawl space vents for 1/8” noncombustible, noncorrosive metal mesh screens.
- Prepare an evacuation plan for you and your household, and prepare an evacuation go bag.
- During May and all year, we encourage folks to prepare for wildfire. Learn more ways to get prepared at LivingWithFire.com or talk to your local fire service representative.
