Powell is a small agricultural city in the Bighorn Basin of northwestern Wyoming, near Yellowstone and the Shoshone National Forest. Wildfire risk from surrounding forest and grasslands is a primary summer concern, while severe blizzards and extreme cold dominate the winter risk profile. Its remote location means extended emergency response times and makes individual household preparedness especially critical.
