Ambassador Hub

Welcome to the Ambassador's Hub. Here you will find the educational information provided for use within your plan units and working groups. If you need more information or resources, check the other links on the website.

Thank you for engaging with neighbors about reducing wildfire risk, identifying/removing risk reduction barriers, and sharing the importance of wildfire safety in our community. I am here to support your efforts.

Neighborhood Ambassador Program

Neighborhood Ambassador Program is a community-approach that leverages volunteers to serve as catalysts within their neighborhoods, encouraging their neighbors to become more aware, active, and prepared for wildfires. Ambassadors are an internal presence that leads to building community trust and capacity. This allows GFPD to capitalize on preexisting social connections to create physical change within the community.

Income 65: Wildfire Mitigation Measures Subtraction

 

Host a Neighborhood Walk!

The objective is to discuss three things in person: evacuation, defensible space, and roadside mitigation. First, we meet as a group and do a quick overview of those things then walk and talk, along with providing time for questions. I do not look at every home and offer suggestions on each defensible space but instead look at 2 or 3 to use as examples. I try to keep the walk to one hour or less. This is a good opportunity to ask questions about home hardening and defensible space, and to build wildfire awareness in an environment of fellowship with neighbors.
