Enhance Community Wildfire Resilience Through The Formation Of Coalitions
At the Community Wildfire Resiliency Coalition (CWRC), we are dedicated to building wildfire resilience and protection in at-risk communities. Through collaborative partnerships and comprehensive services, we strive to prepare at-risk areas for wildfires and minimize the impact of catastrophic fire events. Our mission is to create wildfire-resilient landscapes and neighborhoods through education, outreach, and proactive measures.
