Free Wildfire Risk and Readiness Screening

KNOW YOUR RISK. FIND YOUR GAPS.

Start with a two-minute readiness check, then explore regional wildfire exposure and create a printable planning brief. The result is a screening tool, not a formal audit or site-specific assessment.

Utilities: review core WMP and QAQC program controls.
Communities: review CWPP and mitigation-planning readiness.
Homes and HOAs: review property hardening and defensible-space conditions.

Utility Wildfire Services

INDEPENDENT. FIELD-VERIFIED. UTILITY-GRADE.

Apex supports utilities and public agencies with wildfire mitigation services designed to strengthen planning, implementation quality, field verification, and program defensibility. Our work helps utilities evaluate Wildfire Mitigation Plans, QAQC systems, vegetation management evidence, infrastructure exposure, and documentation gaps before those gaps become larger operational, regulatory, or public-trust issues.

We help utilities identify gaps, improve clarity, and align written wildfire mitigation commitments with what is happening in the field. Services include independent expert review, development audit, and technical support for core wildfire risk reduction programs such as vegetation management, infrastructure hardening, inspections, asset condition, quality assurance, and implementation documentation.

FROM WILDFIRE CONCERN TO IMPLEMENTATION-READY ACTION

Apex helps communities understand, document, and reduce wildfire risk through targeted planning, assessment, and implementation support. Our work supports tribes, counties, local governments, HOAs, homeowner groups, property managers, and community leaders who need clear wildfire risk insight and practical next steps before a loss occurs.

We convert broad wildfire concern into prioritized action by identifying risk drivers, documenting existing conditions, aligning mitigation priorities with funding opportunities, and giving decision makers a defensible foundation for implementation, resident communication, and long-term resilience.

Why Apex

RESILIENCE IS NOT CLAIMED. IT IS DOCUMENTED.

Apex is built on field experience, technical review, and defensible documentation. We do not soften findings to create the appearance of progress. We identify what is present, what is missing, what matters most, and what should happen next.

FIELD
Fireline and Field Experience

Experience from wildland fire, hotshot operations, property assessments, utility wildfire review, and field verification. Apex understands what holds up in real conditions.

QAQC
Utility-Grade Documentation

WMP reviews, QAQC findings, and mitigation documentation written for boards, regulators, risk leaders, program managers, and field teams.

PLANS
Standards-Informed Review

Recommendations are informed by recognized wildfire, emergency management, home hardening, defensible space, utility, and hazard mitigation references where applicable.

RISK
Insurance-Aligned Insight

Reports are written for brokers, risk managers, property owners, underwriters, MGAs, and reinsurers who need clear documentation, not vague recommendations.

EVIDENCE
Defensible Findings

Findings are written to be understood, reviewed, acted on, and defended across internal, public, insurance, and procurement settings.
