When it comes to wildfire mitigation, there are many ways we’ve collectively increased our risk profiles by failing to understand which variables are most likely to increase our risk of fire.
How do we rethink our approach to analyzing risk, and how can we better understand fire risk variables to improve the fire safety of our homes and neighborhoods?
In this conversation, host Stuart Yasgur sits down with former U.S. Fire Administrator and HSToday Editorial Board member Lori Moore-Merrell to understand the importance of assessing fire risk variability and the many opportunities to create structural change at the community level through regulatory codes, and at the individual level, through informed action.
“The Fire Risk Index… is a calculation that can be applied to your home, and for fire, it must not just be your home, but it’s got to be your neighbor’s home, in fact, your community.” – Dr. Lori Moore-Merrell, Former U.S. Fire Administrator
