Wildfire Prepared Home is a systems-based approach, meaning the homeowner takes all the wildfire mitigation actions in the standard to meet the program’s requirements and receive a designation. The Wildfire Prepared Home technical standard outlines groups of actions that are necessary to meaningfully reduce your home’s wildfire risk.

These requirements are based on how much defensible space there is around the home.
