Project Summary:
As climate change increases wildfire risks across California, individual homeowners can reduce community wildfire risk by creating defensible spaces and hardening their properties to make them less flammable. With support from the California Resilience Challenge, the San Diego County Office Office of Emergency Services is partnering with United Policyholders and local firefighters to develop a pilot mitigation certificate program to incentivize homeowners to implement fire-reduction strategies.
