“This webinar will focus on community planning issues that relate to fire’s inevitable visit. Existing and new communities will be addressed, along with individual lot-by-lot development. Best practices will be recommended, fallback positions offered, and tradeoffs described. Issues of sustainability will be included. Case studies will be used to illustrate the process of planning to live with fire.”
