Episode Synopsis


We speak with Yana Valancovich from the University of California about her work in educating communities across California and the Western U.S. about the risks of wildfire. Different landscapes have different fuels that can make a community vulnerable to wildfire, so understanding your community and personal risk are key in preparing your home properly. Her on-the-ground perspective from studying events like the Paradise, CA Camp Fire and the Marshall, CO wildfire can be used to educate people how wildfires can evolve. We also discuss how California has heavily focused on wildfire from a codes & policy perspective, but we've still got more work to do.
