Recovery Project 9:

Improve Fire Safety on Evacuation Routes

Benefits to Community

  1. Enhances Life Safety: Improving evacuation routes ensures safer and faster exits during emergencies, protecting residents.

  2. Increases Emergency Access: Upgrading roads and reducing choke points improves access for first responders during a crisis.

  3. Reduces Fire Hazards: Addressing utilities, tree setbacks, and signage along evacuation routes minimizes fire risks and improves communication during evacuations.
