This report presents the results of two studies that were undertaken to examine wildfire risk mitigation at the wildland-urban interface in Alberta, Canada. One study examined homeowner adoption of mitigation measures and factors that influence adoption in six communities. The second study examined adoption of wildfire risk management programs by 18 municipal governments in Alberta. Implications for policies and programs are discussed.
