Resiliency for Land-Use and Community Planners
This 2-pager is a great reference for land-use and community planners to put firewise concepts to use while planning for the long-term resiliency of any community in the planning stages.
Planners are an important part of a Fire-adapted community where informed and prepared citizens collaboratively plan and take action to co-exist with wildfire safely. Using planning methods proven to increase community survivability and resiliency during wildfires tends to be very cost-effective when compared to retroactive solutions to mitigate community damage to wildfire.
We recommend that all community and land-use planners consider these firewise details to promote the long-term preparedness and safety of communities, especially those located in areas of high fire risk.
