New Vocab for the people: If you know what 'WUI' means, you'll be able to pronounce 'Wildland Urban Interface' in everyday conversation. It really does take some practice..... as recent wildfire catastrophes have show us. WUI is a language all of California will need to speak.

LA’s man-made serial tragedy is an opportunity and a stark reminder of the need for urban development’s respect for the ecosystems that they are nested in, and for urban adaptation to a deteriorating Earth system: in this case, by LA rolling backs its sprawl, rolling out stricter codes, and returning to a centuries-long First Nations practice of managed fires that augmented the natural fire cycle’s ability to invigorate the landscape and created abundance. Insightful article (in spite of the slightly sensational title) that we can use to reflect on analogical needs elsewhere - and in all areas of human activity. https://lnkd.in/g3SsinM7

🔔 While the term “wildland urban interface”, or “WUI”, is commonly used in areas that experience wildfires, it may not be common to you. But, now more than ever, it’s important for you to get acquainted with it. 🔥 The WUI is the zone where structures and human development meet with undeveloped wildland or vegetative fuels—and WUI fires are not just a problem in the western-portion of the country. 📍 In fact, more than 60,000 communities across the U.S. are at risk for WUI fires—and the WUI area continues to grow by approximately 2 million acres each year. 📚 This means it’s more vital than ever for you to understand the risks and actively work to make your home, workplace and community less susceptible to fires.
