Shasta Home Hardening Program

Home hardening · Free to qualifying landowners, from Shasta County Fire Safe Council

The California Wildfire Mitigation home hardening programme, delivered locally by the fire safe council: work on the house itself and on the ground closest to it, free to households that qualify. Ask to be assessed through the council's home hardening line or its SafeHomes address.

There are six steps and they take time, so start early. You apply through the state wildfire mitigation portal, or on paper if you would rather. Assessors from the Western Shasta Resource Conservation District then come out and go over the property. What they find becomes a written scope of work naming the retrofits and the defensible space measures for your particular place. Approved contractors visit to walk the job and price it. You sign a three way agreement between yourself, the contractor and the people running the programme before any work starts. Then the work is booked, and the defensible space clearing and the work on the building itself happen on separate days. Where this comes from
