Today we recognize wildland firefighters and their families for their dedication, hard work, and sacrifices to protect lives and communities. Also a good time to remind Congress to increase their pay and improve working conditions! #wildfire #NationalWildlandFirefighterDay

Chile has suffered this week: Over 110 people dead and 6000 buildings in communities west of Santiago near Valparaiso, mostly through economically vulnerable hillside communities. Rarely does tragedy offer hope, but in this case there is: a wildfire prepared community took action after the previous fire and survived. Completely intact. #mitigationworks #homehardening #defensiblespace #wildfireprevention https://lnkd.in/gnCFfFHw

The only way out of the #wildfire and #ForestHealth crisis is to upgrade homes AND pair with #ControlledBurning. This Stanford University and Columbia University paper shows why. https://hubs.ly/Q028zqgT0

Great report by Triple-i and Mark Bove and team at MunichRe about how property owners are coping with rising #insurance premiums and #wildfire risk. TL;DR: not very well: "12% of US homeowners are 'going naked' and not insuring at all" One positive takeaway: - 87% are willing to spend up to $2500 on #mitigation - 46% are willing to spend >$2500 - 23% are willing to spend >$5000 #HomeHardening #DefensibleSpace https://hubs.ly/Q022tB-d0

CA's insurance market continues to be challenging, and an end-of-session effort in the Legislature to fix things failed. As @YanaValachovic, writes, "the best action property owners can take is to understand and mitigate wildfire risks." #HomeHardening #DefensibleSpace https://hubs.ly/Q022tC3B0

Contact your US House Rep. They need to pass this by Sept 30th or we'll lose our federal fire fighting workforce. We need to pay our fire fighters more than they can make at Starbucks if we want to retain good people for this dangerous and important work. https://hubs.ly/Q022tCQ30

"Between 2015 and 2022, California homes sold for 4.3% ($21,500) less if required to disclose high wildfire risk, a new working paper finds." For home sellers, #HomeHardening and #DefensibleSpace can help boost curb appeal for buyers concerned about wildfire risk and improve their chances of getting insurance. Realtors tell us many homes are falling out of escrow right now due to insurance contingencies, and with the new Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps expected to be ratified early next year, the number of homes required to disclose wildfire risk will only increase. https://hubs.ly/Q021JDlw0
