Option #2

For areas at risk of wildfire, tell your local elected officials to

1) Increase housing density

2) Halt further development in the urban wildland interface

Climate change is increasing the risk of severe wildfire.

Continuing to allow more homes to be built in non-defensible areas is irresponsible and puts wildland firefighter lives at risk
