U.S. Fire Administration National Fire Academy Superintendent Tonya Hoover has written an article for Homeland Security Today on preparing for wildfires to mark Wildfire Community Preparedness Day, which was on May 4. The article also provides lists of steps to take during a wildfire and after a wildfire. While this article is primarily oriented towards homeowners, its observations and recommendations are still applicable to critical infrastructure facilities, such as the discussion of applying fire resistant/fire restrictive measures for new construction and retrofits.
