The Tahoe Network of Fire Adapted Communities, along with many other amazing authors and contributors, helped produce the Wildfire Home Retrofit Guide: How to Harden Homes for Wildfire.
The guide includes detailed recommendations on how to retrofit homes to withstand wildfire. Each section contains an explanation of how every home component is vulnerable to wildfire and what can be done to improve that component. It can be downloaded for free HERE.
In conjunction with the release of the guide are three virtual Wildfire Home Retrofit workshops to educate the public, building professionals, and fire professionals and educators about retrofitting homes to withstand wildfire.
You can watch recordings of all three workshops below:
Wildfire Home Retrofit Workshop: Public
Wildfire Home Retrofit Workshop: Building Professionals
Wildfire Home Retrofit Workshop: Fire Professionals and Educators
