Nebraska wildfire preparedness guidance and homeowner resources

How it works

NEMA’s wildfire-preparedness page gives homeowners practical steps to reduce wildfire risk and links to additional homeowner resources.

What the service covers

The page recommends actions such as:

• cleaning roofs and gutters;
• maintaining about a 30-foot area around the home free of burnable material;
• connecting hoses long enough to reach the home and filling large containers with water;
• reviewing homeowner’s insurance and updating a contents list;
• getting the Nebraska Forest Service’s Living With Fire homeowners guides for eastern and western Nebraska.

Additional resources

The page also links to:

• NFPA Firewise USA;
• Fire Weather (National Weather Service);
• Living With Fire documents for eastern and western Nebraska.

Timing and deadlines

This is ongoing preparedness guidance; the page does not describe an application process or deadline.
