Hardening Your Home

Prepare for wildfire and harden your home now. There are three ways your home can be exposed to wildfire:

  1. Direct flames from a wildfire or burning neighboring home

  2. Radiant heat from nearby burning plants or structures

  3. Flying embers. Flying embers from a wildfire can destroy homes up to a mile away and are responsible for the destruction of most homes during a wildfire.

Taking the necessary measures to harden (prepare) your home can help increase its likelihood of survival when wildfire strikes.
