Want to Be Safer from the Start?
Want to know more about how you can build a Firewise community "from the ground up?" Or how to make sure your HOA rules are Firewise-friendly? Wonder no more -- the Firewise Communities Program has released a new guide for you.

Safer from the Start: A Guide to Firewise-Friendly Developments provides the tools you need as a developer, planner, community association manager or resident to integrate Firewise concepts into design and development, as well as HOA covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs) and architectural rules.

Created in response to numerous inquiries from developers about how to build Firewise subdivisions, the guide provides the wildfire basics and lots of references to wildfire safety examples and standards. Communities governed by an HOA or community association can use the guide to develop sound rules that help residents start - and stay - safer from wildfire.

Check it out on the Resources - For the Homeowner page on the Firewise website and let me know what you think. Email me, find me on MyFirewise (you have to log in to join) or follow me on Twitter (www.twitter.com/firewise).
