My Research Poster from JIBC BESM Program (2022) |
25 January 2025
With the current wildfires ravaging California (again) and the recent wildfire devastation in Canuckistan in 2023 & 2024, it is time to chat seriously about improving the built world to withstand wildfire.
I have already spoken in past blog posts on suggestions for improving the wildland firefighting resources here in Canuckistan. So, today I want to share a link to The GOOD Plan Blog (https://thegoodplanblog.blogspot.com/2025/01/if-i-were-to-rebuild-after-wildfire.html), where I recently wrote a blog post providing suggestions to those who find themselves having to rebuild after a wildfire event. As I expressed in that post, nothing I shared was exceptionally novel, in fact almost all my suggestions come from documents from FEMA, IBHS, ICLR, FireSmart, or Firewise. The information is out there (I learned this while doing research for my capstone project in 2022), and worse...your government and your insurance company are fully aware of this information and yet they still do nothing to educate you or inform you that you have options.
Until next time, do your own research...build once, correctly, to weather the storms!
