The Firewise USA® site program helps communities adapt to living with wildfire and encourages neighbors to work together and take action now to prevent losses.
In HawaiĘ»i, 32 communities have currently joined the nationwide network of almost 3,000 recognized Firewise USA® sites, taking action and ownership in preparing and protecting their homes against the threat of wildfire.
HWMO supports Firewise communities across the state in partnership with our State Division of Forestry & Wildlife (DLNR/DOFAW). Participation in the program is spearheaded by driven and motivated community members to lead their communities to wildfire preparedness.
