Based on the high risk points identified by the AI, the action plan gives prioritized actionable recommendations, which mainly include:
- Vegetation management:Trim tree limbs within 5 feet of the house (to eliminate fire bridges), remove wood mulch (replace with stone), and thin brush within 30 feet (to maintain 50% open space rate).
- Structural reinforcement:Installation of metal mesh vents up to 1/8-inch (to block embers), replacement of shingle roofs with fire-resistant material, and clearing of gutter buildup (a common point of embers catching fire).
- The items are organized:Firewood piles are moved 30 feet away (ideally 50 feet away) and flammable furniture is moved indoors.
Implementation requires attention:
- Prioritize highest risk scores (e.g., roof > fence)
- Select locally adapted species (e.g., California recommends ice-leaf sunflower) in conjunction with a fire-resistant plant database to replace flammable vegetation
- For complex remodeling (e.g., roof replacement) contact a certified fire protection contractor recommended in the report
Improvements can be reassessed after completion and the system will record the change in risk score, on which some insurers may offer premium discounts.
