With another wildland fire start taking off in #KernCounty, it's important to highlight May as National Wildfire Awareness Month. Whether creating defensible space by clearing vegetation from within 100 feet of structures or formulating a solid wildfire evacuation plan, it's critical to be prepared if/when wildland fires occur. The safety of yourself, your family, your pets/livestock and your property depend on it. *This picture comes from ALERTCalifornia, a tool that can help the public, along with Utilities and government agencies, in monitoring high-risk fire areas during peak fire season.

So far this year in California, over 3,500 wildfires have burned 207,000 acres of land. This is approximately 20 times more than the same period last year.

Did you know that the frequency and intensity of extreme wildfires has more than doubled in the last two decades? This alarming trend emphasizes the need for proactive measures to mitigate their impact within communities. 🔥 Check out our wildfire facts infographic for the latest stats and insights: https://ow.ly/ZFfe50TiRX4 #MunichReUS #WildfireRisk #WildfireMitigation

Absolutely beneficial to everyone having all these new technologies working together to change the trajectory of our annual wildfire challenges. Similar to how wildfire agencies use weather thresholds to pre-position resources at a ‘regional’ level to provide closest available resource to action initial attack fires in the landscape…home owners, municipalities, fire departments in our communities and private industry can utilize these new technologies at a ‘local’ level to trigger mitigation and response activities at a smaller scale and prevent new ignitions; catch inception fires with Ai supported IR detection, tanker drones and ground / aerial applied Citrotech. Pretreatment on evacuation routes too, we need these evac corridors to be safe beforehand. FYI: Citrotech is now available in Canada! 🇨🇦

As wildfires continue to threaten communities, it's important to consider how we can protect our structures from being destroyed. Did you know that fireproof structures are possible even in areas with high wildlife activity? By conducting thorough research and investing a bit more time and money, we can take preventative measures to ensure our structures don't go up in flames. Let's prioritize fire safety and protect our communities from the devastating effects of wildfires. #firesafety #wildfires #prevention Here I have a presentation I have done for a school project. How To Build a Fireproof House

𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗗𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗘: Communities are encouraged to participate in the National Firewise USA program, which educates residents on how to protect homes and neighborhoods in areas at high risk of wildfire. #HighPlainsJournal #HPJ #wildfire #fireprevention #rural

So proud to have been part of this project. Organizational assessments and reviews play a vital role in helping organizations fulfill their mandates, improve their performance, and build resilience for the future. Looking ahead, organizations must continue to adapt, collaborate, and innovate to ensure a more resilient future for all.

🔥 It’s a common misconception that most homes burn down from direct contact with wildfire flames or radiant heat, but in fact, the majority of structures are destroyed by wildfire embers - small burning pieces of debris that spit away from the wildfire. In the wind, embers can travel distances over a mile. For #WildfirePreparednessMonth, take a few minutes to learn about what you can do in and around your home to help protect against the threat of wildfires. #Wildfire #Wildfires #WildfireLitigation #WildfirePrepDay
