Description

This collection of 7 resources and 4 webinars are part of the Wildfires - How to Preserve and Protect Housing technical assistance work group series produced by the Association of Bay Area Governments/Metropolitan Planning Commission in 2021. This work group provides 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 consists of four virtual workshops with subject matter experts presenting current information and best practices, case studies, and recent experiences. These sessions help 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 Wildland - Urban Interface (WUI). Each session includes resource guides with practical takeaway information and references to key documents and background materials.
