My community does exactly that… we have done so much fire resistance work over 
the last 5 years, removing fuels, and rethinking our landscaping. So glad I 
have a community, with much internal expertise, to work on it with.

Subject: [C-L]_ Fire - RE: Cohousing-L Digest, Vol 252, Issue 14
As a land steward / rancher - and having watched the LA fires - I'll make a
suggestion.

The fires in California are the result of poor land management - not some
"climate disasters".

Existing communities can best protect themselves by removing stuff that
catches on fire from their immediate area - and campaigning for their local
municipality to also clean up public lands / compel others to implement fire
safety.

Such things as prescribed fire on a regular basis will remove excessive fuel
from forest floors, dead wood can be removed and disposed on in a safe
centralized location (if prescribed fire is not an option) - and you should
consider forced removal of and banning the future planting of dangeriuos
tress and plants - such as Eucalyptus tress - which have flammable oil in
their leaves and act like a fire bomb.

Public policy about forest management will do much to save California -
unfortunately the state now suffers from many years of misguided and poor
management and there are lots of fires just waiting to happen.

Does your community have a solid plan for climate disasters and other
emergencies?

CohoUS is seeking members from cohousing communities to lead a 1-2 hour
webinar on The Cohousing Institute, sharing your community?s crisis
preparedness plans. This is an opportunity to support resiliency across the
movement in the face of climate disasters and other emergencies by helping
others learn from your experiences.

If you?re interested, please email trish [at] cohous.org.

Thank you for helping build stronger, safer communities!
