WMVV Board Meeting on Tuesday, June 24th 1PM, Clubhouse or Zoom
Living in a forested area means understanding the potential risk of a wildfire. The documents on this page can help prepare residents of White Mountain Vacation Village if a wildfire occurs in our area. Use the following links to better understand your role.
Ready! Set! GO!- Navajo County Emergency Notification System
It is the responsibility of each Homeowner in WMVV, and their visitors or renters, to be familiar with the emergency evacuation plan created by the Risk Assessment Committee (RAC) of WMVV.
In no way does the WMVV Board of Directors or the RAC of WMVV hold any responsibility for the evacuation of any persons, pet, or possession/property of an owner/resident or their guest(s) whether on the owner/resident’s property or anywhere on within the WMVV property.
To be properly prepared for an emergency:
Sign up for the Navajo County Emergency Notification System-Ready! Set! GO!
This system enables Navajo County to provide you with critical information quickly in a variety of situations, such as severe weather, unexpected road closures, missing persons and evacuations of buildings or neighborhoods.

It is your responsibility to know the fire restrictions in and around the Show Low area.
Become familiar with all evacuation exits in the Village. Remember you can use the exit closest to you as the main exit may not be accessible.
Crash gates are installed at each escape route and are designed to be driven through with minimal vehicle damage.
RVers that will be removing their rig should do so during the “Set” phase.
RVers should also use the main exit, if it is accessible.
HEALTHY FOREST INITIATIVE PROGRAM
The Healthy Forest Initiative (HFI) focuses on fire prevention, critical infrastructure protection, and forest and watershed restoration through reduction of hazardous vegetation. The process begins with an inspection and assessment of vegetation in the identified area. During the inspection/assessment phase, diseased and overgrown vegetation is identified and tagged for removal. The HFI Grant program, administered by Navajo County, is currently active and grant recipients can receive reimbursement for up to 70% of the expense to bring their property into alignment with HFI goals.
In Spring and Early Summer of 2025, the Board of Directors directed that the WMVV common areas be inspected, assessed and mitigated. The Grant Assistance Program will partially reimburse WMVV for that expense.
If you are interested in having your own property assessed, the HFI Grant Assistance program is open to individual property owners. Along with helping offset the expense, it may positively impact your property insurance. Below is a link to the Grant Application which includes instructions about how to submit to Navajo County.
