1/2 This tool aggregates state, local, and federal funding for home hardening and defensible space. We’re currently in beta and want feedback from our peers in the field!

Nothing scales like public action. CWI is breaking down barriers to community wildfire resilience by tackling the #1 hurdle: up-front costs for homeowners. Introducing the Wildfire Risk Reduction Grants Tool (Beta)—your one-stop shop for CA grants & rebates. 🧵👇

As catastrophic wildfires grow, fragmented data slows our response. We’re partnering with the @EPIConservation to explore the future of wildfire intelligence! 🔥 Read our first post on effective governance in an open data ecosystem: policyinnovation.org/insights/effec…

CWI convened fire leaders, researchers, and vintners in Napa this week to discuss pathways for prescribed fire and wildfire resilience. Momentum is building around science and smoke communication. 🍷🔥 Thanks to @CAL_FIRE, @NapaVintners, and @CaFireScience! #PrescribedFire

Communities need the full picture to prepare for wildfire season. CWI's @J_Puerini spoke with @politico about the data gaps and uncertainties facing California this year. Reliable info isn't just important—it’s essential. Full story: politico.com/newsletters/ca… #Wildfire #Climate
