Wildfire Resilience

In 2020, the United States had its worst wildfire season on record; those wildfires—as well other recent catastrophic events—are remarkable in the scale of their destruction. Many of these fires occurred in or near developed areas, putting even more people at risk and leading to dangerous air quality impacts. Moreover, climate change is extending the fire season and making the conditions for destructive fires more likely to occur. 

Firebreak: Wildfire Strategies for Real Estate

Bigger, hotter, and more frequent wildfires are causing increasing amounts of community trauma, infrastructure destruction, and economic hardship across the United States. Firebreak: Wildfire Resilience Strategies for Real Estate explores how the real estate industry is responding to wildfire risks with building design, land use policy, and community resilience solutions.

Wildfire, Economic and Energy Resilience in Sonoma, California

At the invitation of the Sonoma Regional Climate Protection Authority (RCPA), a volunteer team of ULI members convened virtually in April 2021 to develop recommendations to enhance wildfire, energy, and economic resilience in Sonoma County, CA. The Panel’s presentation of recommendations is here, and the ULI Panel’s complete findings and recommendations will be published and publicly available in summer 2021.
