Short-term rentals like Airbnb and VRBO are increasing across the Southwest. While beneficial for local economies, many visitors are unaware of the state’s wildfire risks or how to stay informed. To address this, the Southwest Fire Science Consortium and the Arizona Wildfire Initiative created a wildfire information packet for short-term rentals. This customizable resource educates guests on wildfire risks and provides tools to help them stay informed and make safer choices.
We hope you find this packet valuable and can collaborate with community leaders to distribute it to local rental owners and managers. Our goal is region-wide distribution to ensure all visitors are better prepared to understand and mitigate wildfire risks.
