Action plan that ties
preparation to
evacuation / survival
Ready – Prep
Set – Situational
Awareness
Go – When? Now
Where? As
Directed
Why? Survive

Why RSG?1. Need to improve personal
responsibility for living in the WUI, both structure and personal safety
2. 100-year fires happening every five years
3. Residents are staying without knowledge, training and poor situational awareness causing safety issues
![Page 4: READY SET GO! - NACoReady! Set! Go! Future Integrate into “Cohesive Strategy” to build Fire-adapted Communities Expand to: Schools, work places, special needs Evacuations Terms,](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050214/5f603eb1dcf5956a2731b03c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
4. Fire suppression costs:
- Escalating structure protection $
5. Public expectations and fire agencies capability don’t match
6. New codes vs. existing structures
7. Ember environment vs. flame front
8. Transitory population into the WUI
![Page 5: READY SET GO! - NACoReady! Set! Go! Future Integrate into “Cohesive Strategy” to build Fire-adapted Communities Expand to: Schools, work places, special needs Evacuations Terms,](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050214/5f603eb1dcf5956a2731b03c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Goals- Protect life (public & FF) and property
- Create “Fire-adaptive Communities”
- Gain active participation in the WUI solution via Personal Responsibility
- Create common media message
- Promote early evacuation and early return as a “baseline” message

How to RSG?
1st Step
Create / Adopt a Strategy to Create Fire-adapted Communities
![Page 7: READY SET GO! - NACoReady! Set! Go! Future Integrate into “Cohesive Strategy” to build Fire-adapted Communities Expand to: Schools, work places, special needs Evacuations Terms,](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050214/5f603eb1dcf5956a2731b03c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Fire-adapted Community Process
Cohesive Strategy
Firewise
Fuels Treatments
Defensible Space
Ready, Set, Go!
Local Capacity
Codes/Ordinances
Living with Fire
Take Responsibility
PreventionCWPP
Outcome
Foster self-reliance and increase resiliency

2nd Step
Identify Risk Factors
Your Community is a Candidate for RSG if …………….

History
![Page 10: READY SET GO! - NACoReady! Set! Go! Future Integrate into “Cohesive Strategy” to build Fire-adapted Communities Expand to: Schools, work places, special needs Evacuations Terms,](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050214/5f603eb1dcf5956a2731b03c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Community Infrastructure Poor Circulation
Narrow Streets
Older Homes
Water System
Public Opinion
![Page 11: READY SET GO! - NACoReady! Set! Go! Future Integrate into “Cohesive Strategy” to build Fire-adapted Communities Expand to: Schools, work places, special needs Evacuations Terms,](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050214/5f603eb1dcf5956a2731b03c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Existing Structures/Infrastructure
Infrastructure issues unlikely to change
Mature vegetation
Structures not ignition resistant
![Page 12: READY SET GO! - NACoReady! Set! Go! Future Integrate into “Cohesive Strategy” to build Fire-adapted Communities Expand to: Schools, work places, special needs Evacuations Terms,](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050214/5f603eb1dcf5956a2731b03c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
3rd Step
Consider structures as a fuel model
Understand how fuels ignite – embers vs. flames
Like brush/trees, structure fuels need to be managed
Maintained
Codes good on new structures if adopted, but largest exposure threat is from existing structures, retrofits?
![Page 13: READY SET GO! - NACoReady! Set! Go! Future Integrate into “Cohesive Strategy” to build Fire-adapted Communities Expand to: Schools, work places, special needs Evacuations Terms,](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050214/5f603eb1dcf5956a2731b03c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
4th Step
Social Marketing
How to effectively communicate w/public
Gain public involvement towards WUI solution
Public must understand wildland fire & need for evacuation
![Page 14: READY SET GO! - NACoReady! Set! Go! Future Integrate into “Cohesive Strategy” to build Fire-adapted Communities Expand to: Schools, work places, special needs Evacuations Terms,](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050214/5f603eb1dcf5956a2731b03c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Different Results?
All properties High risk communities
Done when all properties have been inspected
Done when we have changed our culture
Old Way New Way
Recite regulations Explain fire behavior
Inspection oriented (thou shall) Conversational (did you know?)
Enforcement is enough Enforcement is not enough
Avoid the homeowner Engage the homeowner
Repeat business every year Eliminate repeat business(homeowner takes action)
