Thermopolis is a small resort town in the Bighorn Basin known for the world's largest mineral hot springs. Its location in a remote canyon along the Bighorn River creates both wildfire risk from surrounding arid terrain and significant blizzard exposure in winter. The town's small size and remote location mean extended emergency response times and make individual preparedness especially important.
