The City of Santa Fe announced on April 26 that wildfire risk is increasing as the area enters the warmer and drier months of spring and summer.
Officials say that taking early steps can help protect homes, neighborhoods, and first responders from the dangers posed by wildfires. The city is encouraging residents to understand their individual risk levels and stay informed during emergencies.
To support preparedness efforts, Santa Fe offers real-time notifications through Alert Santa Fe. This service provides updates about evacuations, road closures, and other important information for residents during critical situations. In addition, the Santa Fe Fire Department provides a free Wildfire Home Hazard Assessment to help households identify ways to make their properties safer in case of a wildfire.
Residents are encouraged to sign up for Alert Santa Fe to receive timely alerts about potential threats. More information about household preparation steps and current emergency notifications can be found through city resources.
City officials emphasize that staying prepared throughout the year remains important due to unpredictable weather patterns affecting fire conditions.
