Information Collection; Request for Comment; Homeowner Risk Reduction Behaviors Concerning Wildfire Risks

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Forest Service is seeking comments from all interested individuals and organizations on a new, one-time information collection, Homeowner Risk Reduction Behaviors Concerning Wildfire Risks. The information will be collected from homeowner groups, such as homeowners associations, that have been affected by wildfires. The information collected will focus on homeowners who live in the wildland-urban interface and that were affected by the Hayman fire in Colorado, the B&B Complex fire in Oregon, and the Old and Cedar fires in California. The information provided by this study will allow Forest Service land managers to better understand which risk reduction behaviors homeowners choose to undertake, as well as ones they choose not to undertake, and factors that influence these choices. This information will assist the Forest Service in their risk communication efforts with "at risk" communities and individuals.
