WEBINAR – Measure Twice, Cut Once: Creating the Right Wildfire Risk Reduction Plan for Your Community

Wednesday, October 1, 11 AM – 12:30 PM

Webinar on October 1, 2025, from 11 AM to 12:30 PM about creating effective wildfire risk reduction plans. Register at ca-ilg.org.

About the Webinar

Not all local government agencies have the luxury to approach wildfire planning proactively, reducing risk upfront versus responding to disasters after they happen. A purely reactive approach leaves communities more vulnerable and makes recovery slower, harder, and more expensive. In an ideal scenario, every community would have a proactive wildfire risk reduction plan that addresses the key drivers of loss and reassures insurers that mitigation is being taken seriously.

This webinar will explore the elements of a strong, comprehensive plan and highlight what the insurance industry looks for when assessing community risk. Join us to learn how to create a plan that protects lives, property, and your community’s long-term financial stability.
