Approach
Protect existing and proposed infrastructure by examining present and future hazards due to increased wildfires and post-wildfire conditions.
Tactics
- Design bridge and culverts to minimize diversion potential.
- Increase defensible space around infrastructure and discourage development in the wildland-urban interface.
- Enhance existing public and private fire hazard education and mitigation as related to infrastructure design.
