Come learn from a team of experts about the Community Mitigation Assistance Team (CMAT) national interagency resource, how it can benefit your community, and how to access its resources. The CMATs are available to help your community develop and implement strategic plans, build partnerships, and provide training to enhance wildfire mitigation and preparedness.

CMATs are designed to help communities build sustainable local capacity for community wildfire mitigation during high-risk times when awareness for risk reduction and likelihood of action is the highest. With the increasing threat of wildfire across the Southwest, it is essential that communities take proactive steps to mitigate risk and build resilience. By partnering with the CMATs, you can take advantage of the support and resources to realize a more fire adapted future.
