NFPA and State Farm are committed to safety from wildfire, but we’re also concerned for your personal safety, the safety of your family, and the safety of your community in the face of the coronavirus threat.
We created the annual Wildfire Community Preparedness Day campaign as a way to rally people around the cause of wildfire safety and to turn ideas into action that can make a difference.
