Executive Constantine in July announced King County?s first-ever Wildfire Risk Reduction Strategy [ [link removed] ], joined by our staff experts in climate preparedness and forestry. As part of our Strategic Climate Action Plan, we worked with partners to develop King County?s first-ever Wildfire Risk Reduction Strategy, a set of 12 recommended actions to improve preparedness, response, and resiliency.?

Here are a few of the actions included in the strategy:


* Help communities in the wildland-urban interface develop preparedness, response, and recovery plans.
* Expand assistance programs for homeowners who want to reduce wildfire risks on their property.
* Increase technical and financial assistance for small forest landowners to help them reduce wildfire risks.
* Make it easier and less expensive for emergency responders to share resources faster.
* Improve evacuations in the wildland-urban interface by adopting the ?Ready, Set, Go!? public education model.
* Develop post-fire response plans that promote forest recovery and reduce wildfire impacts on natural resources.
