    Wildfire Prepared Home Program: Improving Property Survivability and Insurability

    AIA in California is hosting another great session around the Wildfire Prepared program developed by the Insurance Institute for Home Safety (IBHS)! This session will walk attendees through the science conducted at IBHS' Research Center in South Carolina, along with post-disaster field investigations, that have collectively identified the most vulnerable areas around the home that must be addressed. IBHS will discuss the two Wildfire Prepared Home designation level requirements and how each addresses ignitions from embers, radiant heat, and direct flame contact.
