Snohomish County opens survey to develop wildfire plan
EVERETT — How prepared are you for a wildfire? Snohomish County Emergency Management wants to know.
The department is asking residents to complete a survey on the topic.
The county survey opened Thursday and will remain open until November. It asks about households, preparedness and fire insurance, among other questions.
Emergency Management estimates 130,000 county residents live in the “Wildland Urban Interface,” a term used to describe locations, like forests, where buildings are at a higher risk of wildfires. The survey is part of a multi-year effort to create a Community Wildfire Protection Plan.
