Conducting a rapid parcel risk assessment

Parcel-level rapid wildfire risk assessments are conducted by trained assessors who visit all homes within a study community, recording a short list of wildfire risk-related characteristics for all homes based on the latest understandings from fire science. This parcel-level risk data is then paired with the results of a household social survey to understand perceptions and decisions about wildfire risk on the properties. In this photo, a trained assesor is recording attributes on a tablet.
