Idaho's Future Fire Outlook Property damage from wildfire is the #1 property risk that Idaho currently faces, and it's not getting any better. First Street Foundation, a research organization, recently released its 9th National Risk Assessment & the results are not optimistic. Make sure you're doing everything you can to lessen the risk of wildfire risk to your buildings & structures, and that work needs to start now. The more you protect your structures, the more you help to protect the entire ICRMP membership & protect our access to adequate property insurance.  Read More First Street Foundation Report
