Countywide wildfire survey will be backbone of ideas to reduce life, safety risks
/As wildfire risks in Western Washington increase, Snohomish County officials are developing a county-wide protection plan.
The county is surveying residents to provide information about the area’s preparedness that will be used to develop the plan. The survey went live in early August and will be available until mid-November. Fire districts, as well as cities, community organizations, the Snohomish Conservation District, the forest service and the state Department of Natural Resources are participating in the planning effort.
