Re: Firewise Landscaping: How Safe Is Your Home?
@Mike_Taylor
posted: 1:52 pm on May 15thThanks for refering to us (I'm the Director of the SAFE Landscapes Program). You can also view most of our information, and download a copy of our Calendar at
http://ucanr.org/safelandscapes
In the coming year we will be putting the information in a more web-friendly format too.
I also want to echo Michelle's comment - landscaping is a very imporant piece of a fire-safe homestead, but the house is integral - we often see people with great landscaping, or brush "clearance", but their home is not maintained to withstand an ember storm. You can find out much more about how to improve the house itself at with our Homeowner's Wildfire Assessment and Homeowners's Wildfire Mitigation Guide, both available through links at the website above, or by going to the UC Center for Fire Research and Outreach at http://firecenter.berkeley.edu/
