To better understand the risks and challenges our community faces, the City is conducting a Community Wildfire Risk Assessment (CWRA). This is the first step in developing a Wildfire Mitigation Plan to help protect homes, businesses, and natural areas.

Your firsthand experience and concerns are essential in shaping a plan that truly meets the needs of our community. This assessment is a collaborative effort involving local, state, and federal agencies, land managers, organizations, and residents like you.

Is Your Home Safe from Wildfire?

The Agoura Hills Fire Safe Council and its partners are currently offering FREE Home Ignition Zone (HIZ) Assessments. Get the answers you want about your home. Upon request, a volunteer wildfire assessor will visit your home and conduct a guided walk-through with you to provide real-time feedback and address specific questions or concerns about your property. The assessment provides educational information related to Home Hardening and Defensible Space, that will harden your home and increase its survivability in the event of a wildfire.

Experiments, models and post-fire studies have shown homes ignite due to the condition of the home and everything around it, up to 100’ from the foundation. This is called the Home Ignition Zone (HIZ).

Get your assessment by completing the form here.

Additional Resources to Keep in Mind:

• Agoura Hills Arson Watch: Under the direction and supervision of the LA County Sheriff's Department, Arson Watch volunteers patrol the Santa Monica Mountains during periods of extreme fire weather conditions. Make a difference today be checking out their website here!
