Michael Wara is a lawyer and an expert in wildfire policy who says that solutions are out there, but face financial, political, and cultural resistance. What's needed, he says, are “whole-of-society” approaches that raise wildfire risk to the community level. In this regard, the devastation in Los Angeles in 2025 could provide the spark needed for smarter communication, better policies, and renewed urgency on wildfires, Wara tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Since January 7, wildfires have been devastating the Los Angeles area. In the span of 10 days, several different fires, including the Palisades and Eaton fires, have burned more than 40,000 acres and destroyed more than 12,000 structures. At least 25 people have died.The threat of fire is growing, especially in zones known as the wildland-urban interface, or WUI. That's where unoccupied wildland and human developments meet and mingle. Think of a city sprawling around a forest, for example. In the US, around one in three homes is in this type of high-risk zone.So what's the science behind urban fires? And how do we protect ourselves in the face of them?Ira Flatow talks with Dr. Kimiko Barrett, senior wildfire researcher and policy analyst at the research group Headwaters Economics in Bozeman, Montana; and Dr. Alexandra Syphard, senior research scientist at the Conservation Biology Institute in San Diego, California.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

In this episode of Risk! Engineers Talk Governance, due diligence engineers Richard Robinson and Gaye Francis discuss due diligence for bushfires.Richard has been involved in advising on bushfire risk and controls since Ash Wednesday in 1984, while both Richard and Gaye as R2A were involved with bushfire assessments post Black Saturday in 2009. Their discussion highlights:Bushfire season is getting longer, and the ability to prepare for it is getting shorter. Volunteer firefighters are also declining.Bushfire best practice for local planning for protection has adopted a vulnerability approach – criticality rather than likelihood.From a due diligence viewpoint, we know we cannot stop bushfires. But, what are all the controls that we can put in place? Often it's not the threat of the bushfire itself, but the interaction of a community or people with the bushfire – the vulnerability of peri-urban areas.Building codes have been updated to improve bushfire resistance, but challenges remain around prescribed burning and access of remote areas during fires.Prepare your property, but be ready to evacuate early on high-risk days, as access can quickly become blocked.

Insurance companies like The Allstate Corp. and State Farm have experienced one too many devastating wildfire seasons in California. Many are looking to exit the market in impacted communities, but a powerful state lawmaker is trying to keep them. Mike McGuire is a Democrat representing a Northern California district directly affected by wildfires, and he just became the top ranking member of the California State Senate. Many of his constituents say they've gotten non-renewal notices or steep rate hikes. He wants to require insurers to issue policies to property owners who take wildfire mitigation measures. On this episode of On The Merits, our California correspondent Andrew Oxford tells us why insurers no longer want to cover climate-vulnerable areas and what politicians like McGuire can do about it.

In the aftermath of the Luton airport car park fire catastrophe, let's have a look at a recent detailed report about fire risk and possible mitigation measures.The report, titled “Covered car parks - fire safety guidance for electric vehicles,” produced by consulting firm Arup on behalf of UK's Department for Transport, and published this July 2023, delves into the details of car park fire risks and mitigation.The report, which focuses on electric vehicles and EV charge points, but does not look in details at hybrids, including plugin hybrids, offers lots of most interesting content to understand the fire risks associated with electric vehicles and charging stations. It discusses a range of possible mitigation measures.The full report is worth reading, and reading should certainly not be limited to the executive summary (often a bad habit of executives! :) as the most interesting content is in the detailed analysis.Following highlights of the report, implications of the report findings are discussed. Reference is made to new offerings from China of small cars with ion-sodium batteries, known to pose lower fire risk, and to EV sluggish sales of EVs in the US, where EVs are piling up at dealerships.Substack: https://covexit.substack.com/p/ev-car-fire-risk-mitigation
