Fire Smart Home Handbook: Essential Guide for Wildfire Preparedness & Survival - Protect Your Home & Family from Wildfire Threats | Home Safety & Emergency Planning

I was surprised how hard it was to find a book like this. We live in a high fire danger zone of California's Sierra Nevada, with lots of high-quality government websites and fire-advice booklets - but nothing with the meticulous documentation and comprehensive scale of this book. Unreserved praise for this 2014 book.Reading it, one piece that struck me was the handful of paragraphs describing the rapid escalation of fire danger and the destructive sweep of fires - this in 2014. It vividly brought home that yes, this is a long-term, nearly exponential trend. This year (2021) with a month or two still left in fire season, two million acres of California have burned; a month and a half ago EIGHTY large wildfires were raging in British Columbia; recurrent drought in the Eastern North American forests are seeing regional-scale wildfire begin to happen where it never has before; and this year's tundra fires in Siberia were larger than all other wildfires in the world put together.Buy this book. Read it. And over the next 1 to 2 years, adapt your home, land, and community to the new realities of fire.
