一份新的报告详细介绍了导致2012年Waldo Canyon Fire的科罗拉多斯普林斯近350所房屋的漏洞今天在内华达州里诺市的“创建火灾改编社区”的保险爆发峰会上发布。该报告的伴随是一段视频，展示了科罗拉多斯普林斯成功预防损失的工作，可以帮助其他容易发生的野火社区降低风险。
“IBHS is proud to be a member of the member of the Fire Adapted Communities (FAC) Coalition, which sponsored this report. As a FAC member, IBHS is committed to helping people and communities in the wildland/urban interface adapt to living with wildfire and reduce their risk for damage, without compromising firefighter or civilian safety,” said Julie Rochman, CEO and President, Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS).
“财产保险公司非常关心wildfire, particularly with drought conditions around the country predicted to continue for many years,” noted Rochman. “The useful post-disaster field research findings in the new Waldo Canyon report will provide critical insights for property owners. These findings also will inform future wildfire research, such as that conducted by scientists at the IBHS Research Center — the only facility in the world that can recreate a full-scale wildfire ember storm in a controlled environment.”
下面概述了“来自沃尔多峡谷课程”的主要发现。
Fire spreading from home-to-home was again a major issue, as has been the case in previous wildfires, which caused a relatively large number of home losses.
虽然重要的是要使建筑物具有不可抑制的材料，以使其对野火更具抵抗力，但也有必要纳入适当的施工细节。
社区领导人必须认识到社区范围的合作的价值，这是家庭生存和建立火灾社区的重要组成部分。
野火期间房屋和企业的广泛破坏和破坏，社区税基受到了重大影响。这对所有居民都有经济后果。
The preparedness message is most effective when delivered by numerous parties. Public policymakers, other officials, local community and business leaders should echo the best practices provided by the Fire Adapted Communities Coalition to reinforce the need for wildfire property protection efforts at every level.
该报告是由火灾改编社区缓解评估团队编写的，其中包括USDA森林服务局，国际消防总监协会，国际林业协会，商业和家庭安全协会的建设科学，林业，社会科学和野火公共教育的专家国家消防协会和自然保护协会。该团队与科罗拉多斯普林斯消防元帅的野火缓解区和科罗拉多州立森林服务部紧密合作。该报告和视频是科罗拉多斯普林斯在2012年7月访问该地区的访谈，实地考察和游览最受影响的社区的结果。
