Summary: Supports Washington communities’ wildfire preparedness through DNR’s Firewise USA® site micro grant program.
Description
The Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) presents this micro grant as part of its work to help homeowners and communities prepare for wildfire through Firewise USA®. The national program is administered by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). In Washington, DNR works with local fire districts, conservation districts, counties, and Washington State University Extension programs to help residents participate.
The broader effort focuses on reducing wildfire risk to homes and neighborhoods, particularly in the wildland-urban interface, where homes are near or among wildfire-prone lands. DNR’s preparedness guidance encourages creating defensible space, clearing nearby brush, using fire-resistant landscaping, organizing neighbors into Firewise USA recognition sites, and planning for evacuation. These are broader program priorities rather than a list of micro grant-funded activities.
