Help make houses wildfire safe

Virtual talk to cover home hardening

Senior Concerns will present a virtual community seminar titled “Understanding Wildfire and How to Prepare Your Home” from 4 to 5 p.m. Tues., July 13 via Zoom.

Elaine Himelfarb, executive director of Ventura Regional Fire Safe Council, will lead the seminar.

The program will cover ways for residents to prepare for the next wildfire.

Attendees will learn about home hardening—addressing the most vulnerable components of a house with building materials and installation techniques that increase resistance to heat, flames and embers that accompany most wildfires.

Finally, participants can learn about resources and how to access them to prepare and protect a home.

Space is limited online to 100 people. To make a reservation, go to us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register.
