Our Home Hardening videos were developed by experts from the UC Cooperative Extension. They guide you through practical actions that will increase your home’s resistance to wildfire. The steps are presented in order of priority, so if you proceed though the content using the left menu from top to bottom, you will address the most important concerns first for the majority of homeowners in a Wildland-Urban interface (WUI) area.

The production of these videos was a project of North Coast Opportunity’s EPIC (Emergency Preparedness In Communities) program, in partnership with LISTOS California, the governor’s campaign to better prepare a million vulnerable Californians.
