Wildfire Awareness Months!

Home Ignition Zone (HIZ) Assessment Program

What is an HIZ Assessment?

  • It is an onsite evaluation of your home and property that identifies elements that pose an increased risk of ignition in the event of a wildfire.

  • It reviews a structure’s potential for ignition and makes recommendations on appropriate mitigation measures for vegetation, homes and other structures on a property.

  • If implemented, the recommendations provided during an HIZ Assessment can help to decrease the risk of property damage and loss, as well as injuries and loss of life.
