Wildfire Mitigation

“How can we mitigate wildfires before they happen?”

 

Wildfires are becoming the bane of every Mediterranean climate resident’s existence. And although emergency management is something necessary to develop, a milligram of prevention is worth a kilogram of cure. By practicing Wildfire Mitigation strategies, such as preventing flammable debris overgrowth, banning fire-inducing items such as cigarettes from dry areas, moving people out of burnable areas, and (in extreme cases) shutting down power lines. This has the potential to save dozens of lives and billions of dollars in property damage.
