The City shall develop programming and content to educate landowners and residents on how structures ignite, the role of embers, and which building materials, designs, and retrofits reduce wildfire risk. Continue to track new and ignition-resistant construction technologies and promote increasingly fire safe building standards through ordinance updates. Provide funding incentives to promote fire safe retrofits of existing structures that meet ignition-resistant building codes. [Source: New Program; City Staff] (PSR, PI, IGC)
