International outreach & partnerships

NFPA works with organizations and agencies around the world who are empowering local-residents with the knowledge and information they need to reduce their wildfire loss through ember-risk education and community risk reduction activities. 

The risk to residents and property in the wildland-urban interface is a global challenge, as wildfire-prone areas of the world face human population growth and increasing building development.  NFPA resources – including the Firewise USA® Program, Wildfire Community Preparedness Day, NFPA Applied Research, and wildfire-related standards and training – support partner implementation efforts and their goals.
