INTRODUCTION
This survey is being conducted on behalf of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Weather Service (NWS) to better understand your experience with wildfires and the information you need to prepare for future wildfires.
Your feedback is vital, and your responses will assist in improving tools and services that meet the needs of the public for preparing for and responding to wildfires.
