Our fire risk in our own homes and communities is not always a discussion of if, but a matter of when.
When it comes to wildfire mitigation, there are many ways we’ve collectively increased our risk profile by failing to understand which variables are most likely to increase our risk of fire. How do we rethink our approach to analyzing risk, and how can we better understand fire risk variables, like the building materials of our homes, to improve the fire safety of our homes and neighborhoods?
In this week’s conversation, host Stuart Yasgur sits down with former U.S. Fire Administrator Lori Moore-Merrell, to understand the importance of assessing fire risk variability, and the many opportunities to create structural change at the community level through regulatory codes, and at the individual level, through informed action.
