03mayAll DayWildfire Prep Day, May 3rd 2025What You Do Matters. The threat of wildfire is becoming increasingly prevalent and dangerous, posing greater risks to people and property than ever before. Given the challenges to holding large public gatherings in many areas this year, Prep Day 2025 is the ideal time to focus on what you can do to help protect your personal property. Connect with your community in a unified effort to improve wildfire safety where it matters most. By planning risk reduction projects such as creating a 5-foot safety zone around your house, you and your family have the power to make a difference.
