City officials in Santa Fe announced on April 26 that wildfire risk is rising during the spring and summer months, encouraging residents to take steps to protect their homes and neighborhoods.
The increased threat of wildfires during warmer and drier conditions makes it important for the community to stay informed and prepared. Officials say that taking action now can help safeguard property and support first responders if a wildfire occurs.
Residents are advised to begin by understanding their individual risk levels and keeping up-to-date with emergency information. The city offers Alert Santa Fe, a real-time notification system providing updates about evacuations, road closures, and other critical events.
To further assist with preparation efforts, the Santa Fe Fire Department provides free Wildfire Home Hazard Assessments. This service helps homeowners identify potential risks around their properties so they can make improvements ahead of fire season.
More information about signing up for alerts or requesting an assessment is available through city resources. As conditions remain unpredictable, officials emphasize that readiness is essential throughout the year.
