AEP members and environmental professionals are invited to attend the class, “WILDFIRE EDUCATION FOR PROFESSIONALS: Reducing Property Risks, Habitat Losses, and Costs,” on Thursday, May 15: 1:30-5:30pm at the San Diego Natural History Museum. Learn about the physics of fire behavior, the ecology of southern California’s fire regimes, and how they relate to structure ignition and property losses. Understand the reasons behind local codes for building ignition-resistant structures and managing 100-foot defensible space, and the costs of excessive vegetation reduction. Get clear examples of building design, exterior materials, landscaping practices, and quick-low-cost property maintenance and modifications to reduce property risks.
This comprehensive four-hour course was developed after the 2003 wildfires, funded by the Joint Fire Sciences fire research programs (Federal) and produced by the San Diego Natural History Museum, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and 30 local experts. The course has been offered 12 times since March 2007 and has been attended by homeowners, landscape contractors, architects, planners, real estate professionals, insurance agents, business owners, property managers, FireSafe Council members, and others. Feedback from participants indicated they gained a new understanding of the need to look at fire-wise building and landscape design within the context of the natural environment. Professionals who are in a position to advise homeowners indicated they would use this information to better educate their clients, and design professionals indicated that they received ideas that would help them early in the planning process
Tuition is $60 for Museum members, $80 for non-members, and $60 for attendees from the same organization, who register at the same time. Attendees will be provided with in-class materials, web-links, and a CD with dozens of references. To register on-line, go to www.sdnhm.org/education , click on “Adult Classes” and scroll down to “Adult Programs” and click on “view,” then look for the course name, “Wildfire Education for Professionals,” Class Code: P8-398-07. Please call 619-255-0203 with questions about registration. Please send email to afege@sdnhm.org with other questions or to ask to PREVIEW the course (free) for your organization, agency, or community.
