RESIDENT LEADER REMINDERS

Maintaining your community’s good standing depends on fulfilling these annual requirements. Now is a great time to start planning for the season:

✅educational outreach (e.g. a neighborhood barbecue, a Zoom call featuring an educational speaker, or a community service day)

✅Record risk reduction (vegetation removal and hours worked/money spent in risk reduction activities)

✅Update documents as needed. Check below if you have a document due (AP = Action Plan; RA = Risk Assessment; Standard Renewal = no updates due this year!)
