Federated Insurance has issued a plan for effective wildfire preparedness, with several guidelines to help reduce risk in the face of an increasing number of fires.
Federated notes that as urban areas extend more into forested lands the risks increase. However, the insurer says there are several steps that may be taken to reduce potential damage to buildings and property overall.
Areas to consider range from having an effective plan in place for before, during and after a wildfire to ensuring that landscapes are properly cleared of fuel and proper access exists for safe exit.
