CALFIRE Home Hardening Retrofit guide and list

AB38 - AB38 establishes 5-year pilot program that will require California’s Office of Emergency Services and CAL FIRE to work together to utilize a broad range of potential funding, including federal funds, to proactively support at-risk communities by proposing the first-ever statewide fire retrofit program to help communities and owners of homes built prior to updated building codes in 2008 harden their homes and make them more likely to survive future fires.
