This trifold describes the efforts in NWACA in 2022 to promote zero pedestrial crashes in our neighborhood.
This presentation by James Duff from the Austin Fire Department's Wildfire Division describes the recently adopted Wildland Interface (WUI) Code and how it affects NWACA.
These slides were used by NWACA President Robert Nash to run the meeting, and they include the presentation by Jon Plum on Preventing Oak Wilt.
Central Texas is in a long drought cycle, despite occasional rain. Dry NWACA landscapes and the homes within are vulnerable to wildfire because we live in a greenbelt with a lot of wildfire fuel in its dead and down material. Our homes are most at risk from flying embers. They can be made relatively safe by removing debris, sealing all points of entry from flying embers, and clearing dead and dry vegetation. If you haven’t yet done so, please get a free home assessment to help you identify your risks. Use the Home Firewise Risk Evaluation form in the Be Involved menu on the home page.
