Turning Wildfire Science into Action
Wildfire Prepared Home is a science-based designation program from IBHS that helps homeowners reduce wildfire risk through proven mitigation actions and third-party verification.
Most homes ignite from wind-blown embers—not the large wall of flames. These embers can travel more than a mile ahead of a wildfire and collect in vulnerable areas around structures—such as vents, gutters, mulch beds, against fences, against the foundation, and above decks—where they can start spot fires.
During large wildfire events, homes may have to withstand ember storms and wildfire conditions when firefighting resources are stretched thin or overwhelmed. Preparing the home and surrounding property ahead of time can significantly reduce the risk of ignition.
