This session will focus on the following issues:
- Forest fires, Wildland Urban Interface zones (WUI), WUI regulations,
- Best practices for reducing structure fire risk in the residential built environment.
- Forest fire smoke and strategies to improve indoor air quality
- Renewable + battery strategies for power outages
