FireSmart Community Connect
FireSmart Community Connect
FireSmart Community Connect is designed to support the Managers, Leaders and Homeowners of FireWise USA Communities. It offers the community a data management tool and communication hub specifically designed to meet the FireWise USA Community-in-good-standing requirements.
It does not replace the FireWise USA reporting portal. It does add a much needed tool for Homeowners and Local Leaders to gather, organize and reveal actionable data that is often lost or unseen. Local Leaders are able to assess the health of the FireWise Community through the their Membership data, Home Surveys and Action Tracker.
The reality is that FireWise USA Communities are a pathway to maintaining insurance coverage. The standards for FireWise Community recognition follow the same defensible space metrics that fire agencies across the country are using. Most manages are volunteers and need FireSmart CC to make their job easier.
