Wildfire risk checklist

A fast, vegetation-focused checklist organized by defensible space zones and fuel types.

Seasonal vegetation readiness timeline for wildfire preparedness
A simple seasonal rhythm makes preparedness repeatable and realistic.

Immediate zone (0–5 ft)

Debris buildup, ground fuels, and ignition opportunities near structures.

Intermediate zone (5–30 ft)

Ladder fuels, shrub continuity, and spacing issues.

Extended zone (30–100 ft)

Overcrowding, dead vegetation, and slope-driven continuity risks.

  • Leaf litter or debris accumulation near structures?
  • Dense shrubs beneath trees or near low branches?
  • Continuous ground fuels (mulch beds, dry grass) without breaks?
  • Deadwood in tree canopies or dense understory?
  • Slope areas with continuous vegetation corridors?
