Southwest Wildfire Awareness Week is March 27 – April 2, 2016 #NMFire #OneLessSpark #FireAdapted

March 27, 2016 by npsnmfireinfo




The federal, state, and tribal partners of the Southwest Prevention and Information Committee invite you to join us in promoting Southwest Wildfire Awareness Week, March 27 – April 2, 2016. This year’s theme is “Where We Live, How We Live, Living with Wildfire.”  The focus of the week is to increase awareness and to promote actions that reduce the risk from wildfire to homes and communities.

We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to reach out to your local community, neighborhoods and media with wildfire prevention and preparedness information.

(NOTE:  The Moon Fire in Ruidoso that started March 28 is in an area previously mitigated.  Even with these ferocious winds, the fire at this time is staying predominately on the ground.) 
 
A variety of wildfire prevention materials are available at the Little Bear Forest Reform Coalition table at the  Sacramento Mountains Wood Industry Summit at the Ruidoso Convention Center March 30 & 31.

You can order many free Firewise outreach materials (including brochures, posters, bookmarks, DVDs, door hangers, stickers, and an interactive Firewise Challenge Exhibit Kit) from http://firewise.org/catalog.aspx.

Thank you for your commitment to promoting wildfire prevention and preparedness.  We appreciate your support!
