Building a nonflammable moat around your home keeps floating embers from finding an ignition source. In California we're calling it #Zone0
Tomorrow is Wildfire Community Preparedness Day. Creating a “defensible space” around your home with hardscaping and fire-resistant plants can reduce the likelihood that a wildfire will make the jump to your home. More on firewise landscaping at UF/IFAS Gardening Solutions: buff.ly/m3l1I1L

#Zone0 (0-5 ft) around your home is critical for wildfire defense. Keep the area free of combustible materials that could spread fire to the home:
* Remove trash bins.
* Keep woodpiles & flammable materials away from walls.
* Use gravel, pavers, or rocks instead of plants.
