Wildfire Knowledge Graph · Built Environment
Working definition
Construction, material and detailing changes intended to reduce structure vulnerability to ember, flame and radiant-heat exposure.
In plain language
Construction, material and detailing changes intended to reduce structure vulnerability to ember, flame and radiant-heat exposure.
Why it matters
Structure Hardening is useful because it separates one specific part of wildfire behaviour, exposure, operations or evidence from nearby concepts that can otherwise be mixed together.
