Communities & HOAs

Strengthen and document your community’s wildfire preparedness.

Wildfire Guardian helps harden a community home by home, coordinates its defense, and documents the actions taken, so the board has a record it can share with its insurers.

The board-level issue

Insurers often weigh the whole community.

Carriers often assess wildfire risk across a whole neighborhood. One exposed home can affect the picture for everyone, and some fire-exposed communities are being non-renewed outright.

A community that hardens its homes, plans its defense and documents both has a stronger, evidenced case to put to its insurers. Each home that hardens adds to that record, and the board keeps the documents to show it. Insurance decisions remain with each carrier.

Why it compounds

Every home that hardens helps the ones around it.

Embers travel from structure to structure, so each member who hardens helps reduce exposure for their neighbors as well as themselves. As participation grows, the community’s overall preparedness improves.

Safety: coordinated hardening and on-threat defense across homes and the shared spaces between them
Insurability: a stronger, evidenced risk profile the community and each owner can take to insurers
Stewardship: one coordinated program the board can oversee from start to finish

Two levels of action

One program, two levels of action.

Two ways in: the association contracts for the common-area program, and homeowners opt in for their own properties. Wildfire Guardian runs both on one platform and documents all of it.

For the association

What the board can run

Community-wide work the board can contract for directly, across the common property it controls.

Common areas & greenbelts: hardening and shared-fuel reduction in the spaces between homes, the launchpads embers use
Coordinated GraphGel™ surge plan: a community-wide readiness and deployment plan, defined before fire season
Community survivability baseline: one read across the community that shows where it stands, and rises as members enroll
Board & insurance reporting: documentation built for the board and for the community’s insurance conversations

For each member

What homeowners opt into

The board can’t harden private homes, so Wildfire Guardian makes it simple for each owner to enroll their own home, and counts every one.

Harden their own home: structural hardening aligned to IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home™ guidelines, through Wildfire Guardian’s partner network
On-threat GraphGel™ coverage: their property added to the community’s surge-deployment plan when a fire threatens
Their own survivability record: a per-home read and documentation each owner can take to their own carrier

Wildfire Guardian ties it together. Every enrolled property and hardening action feeds the community’s survivability baseline and the board’s insurance documentation.

How it works

From first meeting to documented defense.

Community assessment

We map the community’s wildfire exposure and establish a survivability baseline across its properties and shared spaces.

Coordinated hardening plan

A sequenced hardening plan aligned to recognized wildfire-preparedness guidance, scoped for the whole community and its common areas.

Deployment readiness

GraphGel™ readiness and a threat-time response plan, with crews and triggers defined before fire season.

Reporting & documentation

Ongoing reporting for the board and documentation the community can take to its insurers.

Working with your insurers. Wildfire Guardian works alongside your board and your carriers, presenting the community’s documented hardening and defense actions in terms carriers can review. Any coverage or pricing outcome is determined by the carrier. We are onboarding carrier partners now and will name them as each program goes live.

Who it’s for
