How can I protect my home against wildfire risks?

No protective measure is foolproof, but you can take measures to protect your home. 

• Wherever possible, use fire-resistant materials. 
• Cover openings, like air intake vents, with metal screens to block embers. 
• Keep your yard and gutters free of dry leaves and twigs.
• Keep your HVAC system in good working order, regularly change the filters and keep spares on hand. 
• Invest in an air purifier, certified by AHAM for smoke removal, and put in a carbon-based filter to keep your indoor air clean in the event of a wildfire or better yet, use it daily at all times to ensure air pollutant that enters your home is consistently removed.
