Wildfire Defense for Construction Professionals, Online, May 14, 3 - 5:30 pm PT
Event Description
The USGBC-CA Wildfire Defense Certificate Training Program was developed to educate construction professionals and landscapers on how to best harden homes and landscapes to fires through the use of materials, maintenance practices, and firewise design practices known to reduce properties’ risk of fire damage. This training intends to prime the pathway for the private market to drive the adoption of firewise best practices and create cultural change within the building industry.
The training highlights existing resources and includes a small group of diverse advisors across fire prevention and building and landscape design to instill awareness and transfer knowledge around industry-leading best practices to reduce fire risk in homes and landscapes. For more resources, see our USGBC-CA Rebuilding Guide and learn how to implement best practices in sustainable rebuilding.
The Wildfire Defense Certificate for Construction Professionals is a 150-minute training followed by a certification test to be taken online via the USGBC-CA Learning Center.
