?? Chief Engineer Anne Cope outlines the essential elements needed for a property to effectively reduce #wildfire risk. Check it out in Scientific American ?? https://lnkd.in/eyj6Ve_d
Designing a wildfire-resistant property is possible, and can be affordable with a range of available style and material options to meet your aesthetic. ?? A study from the?Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety - IBHS?and?Headwaters Economics?found that for as little as $3,000 homeowners can build new homes that address vulnerabilities to wildfires. ?? Likewise, there are also affordable mitigation actions to retrofit existing homes. An analysis from?California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE)?and Headwaters found retrofitting costs can be as low as $2,000, depending on the existing home. Read why I suggest that the best first step is to make a plan to address vulnerabilities around your home and hear from additional wildfire experts in this new article from Scientific American:??https://lnkd.in/d9uH3HUr

Keeping wind and pressure from entering your #home is critical for its survival in #SevereWeather. High winds can push a garage door inward, allowing pressure to build inside your home, pushing up on the roof and out on the surrounding walls —often resulting in more significant structural damage to your home. #FORTIFIED Silver? and FORTIFIED Gold? prevent this scenario by requiring garage doors rated to withstand high pressures.
