Wildfire reaches further than the flames

Wildfire isn't only a wildland problem anymore. When fire reaches communities, the impacts ripple outward, including for people whose homes never see a flame.

Smoke that travels

Wildfire smoke doesn't stop at the burn line. It can affect air quality for hundreds of miles and weeks at a time, with real consequences for kids, older adults, and anyone with respiratory or heart conditions.

Power that goes dark

In fire-prone regions, utilities now shut off power proactively when conditions are dangerous. Homes lose power for hours or days, even when no fire ever reaches the area.

Markets that retreat

Insurance is getting harder to keep in fire-prone zones. Mortgage lenders are pulling back. Property values shift as risk maps redraw themselves. The financial weather is changing, even when the actual weather isn't.

Wildfire preparedness is the foundation for all of it. That's where Goldenrod starts.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Why this matters

21%

of wildfire-exposed households have made an emergency plan

People aren't unprepared because they don't care. They're unprepared because no one made it simple enough to finish.

The data backs this up. Among those who encounter preparedness information, 92% take action. Among those who don't, only 38% do.

That's what we built Goldenrod to do.
