Abstract
Community wildfire readiness includes actions taken by residents, including wildfire risk mitigation at the parcel level and evacuation preparedness. This report presents results from two data collection efforts in the Lake Wenatchee Fire & Rescue service district in Chelan County, Washington: parcel level rapid wildfire risk assessments and household surveys sent to the owners of assessed parcels. Respondents reported that they were moderately aware of the risk of wildfire to their home, were discussing wildfire with their neighbors, and were taking action to reduce risk. There are gaps in respondents’ understanding of wildfire risk that might be addressed through educational outreach. Respondents were supportive of wildfire risk reduction strategies at the community level, including fuel treatments and policy options.
