A message to examine your community's brittleness:
"And while 2.1 million #NorthCarolina homes are in the #WildlandUrbanInterface, North Carolinians have relatively little experience with #wildfires, he noted.
“The combination of #WUI and a ‘fire naive’ population could potentially cause major loss of human life in the eastern U.S., similar to what we’ve seen now in #Hawaii and previously in California,” Scheller said."
“Today, more than a third of American #homes and more than half of Canadian homes are located in the #WUI. It is a beautiful place to live, until it goes #feral. When a #wildfire enters a residential community, the result—for the fire—is a smorgasbord of kiln-dried #fuel topped with tar shingles, garnished with rubber #tires and #gas tanks.”

"Fires are a new reality," stressed the President of the Republic, stating that the images of the #wildfires last summer are "an insufficient and limited portrait of a much broader and more #complex #reality". "We have to get more and more used to realities like these."
