UC ANR Fire Network
Helping Californians prepare homes and landscapes for wildfire
The UC Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) Fire Network works to improve wildfire resilience across California. We provide science-based information, training and tools to help homeowners and communities reduce wildfire risk and live more safely with fire.
How to Reduce Wildfire Risk at Home
Reducing wildfire risk at home starts with a few practical steps you can take around your house and landscape. Below, you’ll find information on how to prepare your home, manage vegetation and connect with local support.
Prepare Your Home for Wildfire
Most homes lost to wildfire ignite from embers rather than direct flames. Simple improvements to your home and the area immediately around it can greatly improve its chance of surviving a wildfire.
Evacuation Planning
Prepare your household ahead of time so you can leave quickly and safely during a wildfire emergency.
Use Fire-Wise Landscaping
Fire-Wise landscaping combines thoughtful design and regular maintenance to reduce wildfire risk while keeping outdoor spaces functional and attractive.
Wildfire Recovery
Recovering after a wildfire takes time and clear guidance. Learn steps for cleanup, health and safety, and rebuilding while protecting your household and property.
Get Local Guidance and Support
Wildfire risk and recommended actions vary across California. UC ANR advisors work locally to provide guidance tailored to regional conditions and community needs.
