Public awareness of the importance of home hardening and defensible space is growing. What can be done to make neighborhoods at the wildland-urban interface (WUI) and downwind of the WUI more resistant to wildfire?

At this Thursday’s meeting we will go over the recently released “Zone 0” guidelines for making the area immediately around the house more ember-resistant, as well as provide a few examples of what a home landscape with improved defensible space looks like. 

We’ll take a break from meetings over the summer, and resume in September. Be sure to take a look at the upcoming summer events below.

What We Do

The purpose of the East Richmond Neighborhood Council is to provide a forum for neighborhood residents to exchange ideas on community issues and neighborhood problems, and to serve as a source of information on topics of interest before our city government and public agencies.
