Wildfire destruction in Napa County in the Wildland/Urban Interface.

This work group provided resources for local planning and housing staff working to integrate wildfire and housing issues in local land use planning efforts like the Housing and Safety Element updates. The work group consisted of four virtual workshops with subject matter experts presenting current information and best practices, case studies and recent experiences. These sessions helped local agencies gain a better understanding of the evolution and behavior of wildfires, defensible space, home hardening, evacuations (new laws, practical approaches and new models), and responsive land use planning in the Wildfire/Urban Interface (WUI). Each session included Resource Guides with practical takeaway information and references to key documents and helpful background materials.
