 <\/p>\n

I was thrilled to be asked to join as a co-author on this handbook, which was primarily drafted by Dr. Morgan Treadwell, one of the nationwide experts on fire and rangelands.<\/p>\n

Our goal is to provide Texas landowners with practical information and tools to prepare for wildfires and to know what steps to take to protect their property, livestock, belongings, and people should a wildfire occur.\u00a0 Having had to evacuate livestock and prepare to leave our home during the Smokehouse Creek Fire, I know the importance of having a plan and being prepared before a natural disaster strikes.<\/p>\n

Information covered in the handbook includes sections on risk management, grazing management, firebreaks, infrastructure protection, fire-smart landscaping, evacuation considerations and preparations, and more.<\/p>\n

Taking the time to be prepared before the wildfire starts is a crucial step in safeguarding their operation.\u00a0 We are confident this publication will help Texas landowners to act now to take the critical steps to save lives, animals, and property later.<\/p>\n
