This graphic was designed to help explain the fire adapted communities (FAC) framework. It describes a set of components that make up community wildfire adaptation, and gives examples of specific programs and activities that communities can undertake to reduce their wildfire risk and increase their resilience. Remember, FAC is not a one-size-fits-all approach; every community’s journey to living better with fire is unique. This graphic was created by the FAC Learning Network with input from community-based practitioners from across the United States.
This is version two of the graphic (produced April 2021) and is the most up-to-date. Also available are two other versions of the graphic with different highlighted sections so you can pick and choose the layers that help you convey what FAC means in your community. Stay tuned for more versions of the graphic to be made available.
