About Rotary Wildfire Ready
Rotary Wildfire Ready is a community-based project designed to increase wildfire awareness and help make communities safer from the threat of wildfire.
Founded in 2018 by the Rotary Club of Evergreen, Rotary Wildfire Ready has developed resources and events to help residents become knowledgable, engaged and prepared for wildfire. Rotary Wildfire Ready has partnered closely with local fire departments and Colorado State Forest Service to develop "best in class' resources on wildfire preparedness. Rotary Wildfire Ready is funded through the Evergreen Rotary Foundation which is a 501(3)(C) Colorado nonprofit and affiliated with a working group of Rotary Clubs & Engaged Community Leaders.

ROTARY ACHIEVEMENTS
BY THE NUMBERS
HOW IT WORKS
Rotary clubs can add Rotary Wildfire Ready as part of their Community Service outreach. Clubs will be able to access Rotary Wildfire Ready resources and will have access to Rotary Wildfire Ready's Leadership Council who are available to answer questions on how best to implement the program. The Leadership Council will also be available to do a Zoom on the program to your team or club as needed. Rotary Wildfire Ready provides all resources to any Rotary club interested in adding the program. Rotary Wildfire Ready incurs the cost of the program's administrative expenses and resource development.
