the collection of information unless it

Forest Service
Title: Homeowner Risk Reduction
Behaviors Concerning Wildfire Risks.
OMB Control Number: 0596–NEW.
Summary of Collection: The threat of
wildfire to residents located in areas
next to forested public lands has
increased significantly during the last
decade. As homeowners migrate to areas
that are at increasing risk from wildfire
they face important decisions regarding
how much risk to accept from various
sources. An important component of
making decisions regarding risk is to
understand the behaviors that are
effective at reducing the risk and the
information sources that are considered
reliable for risk reduction information.
To gain a better insight into
homeowners’ perceptions of wildfire
risk, behaviors that reduce wildfire, it is
important to collect information directly
from the homeowners that are at risk.
The information will be collected using
a survey instrument that is administered
via the U.S. Postal Service. The type of
information collected will include: (1)
Risk perceptions regarding wildfire, (2)
risk reduction behaviors associated with
wildfire, (3) sources of information
regarding wildfires and wildfire risk
reduction, and (4) socio-economic
information.
Need and Use of the Information: The
data collected from the survey will
benefit Forest Service (FS) and the
communities that are surveyed. The
data will be used to generate reports that
are targeted toward FS personnel that
are responsible for working with
communities and homeowners in order
to reduce the risks associated with
wildfires. Without the information FS
land managers and the public will
continue to interact on the issues of
wildfire risk without a broad-based
understanding of the factors that lesson
wildfire risk, factors that are important
to homeowners.

Individuals or households.
