When it comes to preventing wildfires, we must understand both the challenges of existing systems and where the real opportunities for action are.
Dave Winnacker, co-founder of XyloPlan, helps us understand more about the current conversation around wildfire mitigation by sharing his work on analyzing and articulating the risk of wildfires at a large scale. As Dave points out, we’re not creating beautiful plans to sit on the shelf. The imperative here is for us to take concrete action that reduces risk.
In this week’s episode of the Economic Architecture Podcast, host Stuart Yasgur sits down with Dave Winnacker to discuss preventing wildfires by seeing risk clearly and acting early. They explore the many facets of wildfire mitigation, from the limits of today’s systems and incentives to the risk analysis necessary to help communities, homeowners, developers, and insurers work together—in hardening homes, creating defensible space, and directing dollars where they most reduce expected loss.
