My agent told me we were getting a discount for being in a Firewise-recognized community.
For this to work well, it helps if it is a community effort.

Actually, in many place they don't even need to come out, but look instead at your property on Google maps, where they can get a really good view of the property in relation to its surroundings.

Well, northern california wildfire season has ended rather dramatically. In the past week our rain gauge shows 10 inches. It's been raining solidly for the past 24 hours. Another 1-2 inches is expected before it ends overnight. October is the start of rain season. Where we are a typical total for the month is 1.5 inches.
Yikes! Any flooding in your area?
Not in our immediate area. In general the ground is so dry from two fairly dry winters that it will just absorb a lot of it, especially relatively level areas. The areas most at risk are the places where there have been fires over the past few years. Apparently the fires leave behind ground that is not much more porous than concrete so there's risk of mud and debris flows. Also some of the smaller creeks up in Sonoma county will probably flood because they don't have a whole lot of room for the runoff from massive storms like this so they tend to overflow their banks.
Family in CA say the rains are supposed to hit them tomorrow. Friends in northern CA are getting slammed. Friends are pretty much off-grid and the rain is filling their water tanks, but they are near some fire areas and can't work due to the mud, etc.

The overall model of climate change prediction is very complicated and it has a lot of missing data (because of the lack of specific satellites coverage and on-earth probes).
Even the weather forecast is impossible to be reliable for more than one week in advance due to many uncertainties: air turbulence, solar activities are a couple of key ones.
This year scientific-engineering groups have launched more data collection probes to oceans. There is a planned launch of satellites aimed for data CO2 3D atmospheric data collection, simply we don’t have the full understanding of it’s behaviour and exact influence.
Fires, floods and extremely hot weather this year is a fact.
Environmental awareness not only shows growth in the media, but also takes its steps.
Local ecosystems need specific surveillance.
Read more for satellites together with on-earth missions doing the job collecting enormous data volumes for the Globe and local ecosystems.
This is the case of ‘the more the better’, when it comes to the complex math models giving leverages for climate control. Driving force for the largest industries and everyday personal life.
