The Rotary Club of Evergreen started the Rotary Wildfire Ready program in 2019 to help address wildfire preparedness in our community.    Our clubs partner with local fire departments, community leaders, county organizations and the state forest service  to identify work needed to help residents prepare for wildfire.   Our goal is to create Fire Adapted communities using the model outlined by Fire Adapted Network with Rotary leaders helping educate on how to become fire adapted and be prepared for wildfire. 

Fire Adapted Communities  

A fire adapted community is a community of informed and prepared citizens collaboratively planning and taking action
​to safely co-exist with wildfire.   
​
​A fire adapted community  takes actions to: 
  • Develop a Community Wildfire Protection Plan.
  • Develops defensible space, home hardening education, and evacuation preparedness programs.   
  • Develops evacuation plans.
  • Creates safety zones in communities with fuel buffers at its edge.
  • Works with public and private landowners to treat hazardous fuels.
  • Builds with fire resistant materials and site structures in low risk landscapes.
