Home safety visits work best when residents leave with a short, specific list of actions. These tools turn broad prevention guidance into a practical score: smoke and CO alarms, escape planning, heating/cooking risk, defensible space, access, and evacuation readiness.
Home fire safety score
Use during station open houses, school outreach, smoke alarm canvassing, or post-incident neighborhood education. The output gives residents a clear priority order instead of a generic checklist.
Wildfire risk assessment
Use for wildland-urban interface outreach and homeowner self-checks. The questions focus on defensible space, roof and gutter exposure, vents, access, address visibility, and evacuation planning.
