Now more than ever, it’s crucial to ensure your home’s safety. We hope the information below can serve as a resource to help prepare your home for wildfires.
Wildfire season has already begun in California, but it’s not too late to make sure your home is protected and ready! At Habitat for Humanity, we know that your home is much more than just a place to live. It’s your most valuable investment, providing security and stability for your family. This summer, take the time to protect that investment and harden your home against wildfires.
Wildfires may seem far off after a wet winter and cool early summer, but as temperatures rise, all of that vegetation that grew during the rainy winter is drying out and becoming ideal fuel for fires. Preparing your home for wildfires can sound like a scary and expensive task, especially if you have an older home. But ReStore and Habitat are here to help! Habitat East Bay/Silicon Valley’s Home Repair team has shared their best tips on hardening your home against wildfires, and you can find the supplies you need for less at your local ShayanStores!
