Building a Fire-Ready Future — Strengthening Our Defenses, Together

Wildfire Preparedness Week serves as a crucial reminder of the year-round wildfire threat in California — especially here in Corona — and emphasizes the importance of proactive preparedness at every level.

This year’s theme, “Building a Fire-Ready Future — Strengthening Our Defenses, Together,” highlights how we can work together to reduce wildfire risk and protect our community. Whether you live in the wildland-urban interface or in a densely populated area, preparedness starts with you.

Here’s how you can take action in Corona:

  1. Preparedness starts with individual actions. Create defensible space, harden your home, and have an evacuation plan in place.
  2. Use available tools and resources. The Corona Fire Department and FireSafe Corona offer valuable programs, guidance, and support to help you prepare.
  3. Strong communities are prepared communities. Talk to your neighbors, share information, and work together to reduce wildfire risks.
  4. Wildfire risk in California is year-round. Don’t wait for fire season — take steps now to protect your home and loved ones.

Stay connected and learn how to get involved by visiting FireSafe Corona and the Corona Fire Department websites and social media pages. Together, we can create a fire-adapted, resilient Corona.
