The EmberThreat process is divided into four steps:
- Initiate an assessment:Visit the official website and click on the "Assess My Property Now" button.
- Enter the address:Provide the exact location of the property and the system will analyze the slope of the terrain (fires are faster on uphill slopes), local vegetation types, and historical fire danger data.
- Upload a photo:All four elevations of the house (check wall materials), roof (residual accumulation points), surrounding 0-100 feet of vegetation (delineating the three zones of the defensible space), wood appurtenant structures (e.g., decks), and ground cover need to be included. It is recommended that at least 3-4 clear photos from multiple angles be uploaded.
- Get the report:The system generates a comprehensive report in real time containing risk scores, graphical risk point analysis, prioritized action items (e.g., clearing leaves from roofs) and fire prevention plant recommendations.
The entire process requires no specialized knowledge and can be completed in less than 5 minutes. Regular assessments (especially before the fire season) continuously optimize the fire resistance of the house.
