S2E9: On the Radar - Insights on the Lahaina Wildfires

Our second edition of the 'On the Radar' podcast series focuses on the early insights IBHS and the fire communities have gained on the devastating Lahaina wildfires. Our experts break down how a grassland fire evolved into suburban conflagration that destroyed nearly 2,700 structures and how the building components and vegetative landscape likely contributed to the rapid progression of this fire throughout the community. We'll also discuss the importance of holistic mitigation approaches and the benefits of not only parcel mitigation, but community-level mitigation. Resilience to wildfire requires efforts from multiple agencies and participation on local and state-levels to ensure the safety and preparedness of communities at risk to wildfire.
