Free Webinar: Introduction to Wildfire Home Defense, June 5, 12 - 1 pm ET
Event Description
The Wildfire Defense Education and Tours Program by USGBC California aims to raise awareness by offering topic-specific resource guides and expert guidance. This initiative empowers our community, property owners, designers, and managers to take proactive measures to reduce wildfire risks and minimize associated losses. The growing fire seasons pose severe and potentially life-threatening consequences. There are actionable steps that everyone can take to safeguard their properties, mitigate fire risks in the region, and enhance the city’s resilience. Architects, builders, developers, urban planners, and landscapers all have crucial roles to fulfill.
- Understand the importance of home hardening to protect home health against the long-term effects of wildfire smoke exposure.
-Analyze and implement defensible space measures to ensure resiliency and the safety of property and surrounding area during wildfire season.
- Introduce resilient urban living practices to mitigate the impacts of wildfire and protect the welfare of future generations.
- Articulate the need for woodland-urban interface management strategies to balance the benefits and risks of living in close proximity to nature in wildfire-prone areas. While building resiliency.
