Wildfires pose significant risks in drought-stricken areas. To learn more about ways to mitigate the risks, particularly if you reside in a wildland-urban interface or you/your structures intermix with vegetation, please sign up to attend one of these important workshops hosted by the Texas A&M Forest Service (you can choose to attend the morning session from 10 AM to 11:30 AM, or the afternoon session from 1:30 PM to 3 PM). The goal is to help participants make logical, well-informed decisions about wildfire hazard risk assessment and implement ways to reduce or contain the identified risks. If you plan to attend, please email Derek Marchio, the Burnet County Emergency Management Coordinator.
