Amid increasing wildfires affecting even previously unaffected areas, homeowners are seeking ways to protect their properties. In a proactive move, Colorado is set to compel insurance companies to acknowledge wildfire mitigation efforts by homeowners, potentially lowering their premiums. This initiative is part of a broader dialogue occurring during Climate Solutions Week, which emphasizes the need for resilient homes and communities in the face of climate change. Local zoning discussions aim to explore how neighborhoods can enhance their defenses against wildfires, highlighting the importance of fire-resilient design at the neighborhood scale. NPR’s coverage during this week focuses on innovative housing solutions that address both climate challenges and the housing crisis.
