FIRE ADAPTED COMMUNITIES
Boulder Watershed Collective’s Fire Adapted Communities (FAC) Coordination builds community capacity for wildfire mitigation and resilience by supporting neighborhoods at different stages of readiness. Through coordination, relationship-building, and facilitation, this work helps communities develop shared understanding of wildfire risk, strengthen connections among residents and agencies, and identify practical pathways toward strong preparedness and response actions.
A wide variety of general preparedness information can be found here.

Gold Hill Preparedness & Mitigation Efforts

Communities and wildfire professionals develop CWPPs through a collaborative process to identify local hazards and priorities for wildfire risk reduction and resilience.
Over the next three years, the City of Boulder and the BWC will work with HOAs and residents in the Wonderland Hills area to implement wildfire risk-reduction measures on public and private lands.
