IBHS, the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety, is the leading funder of wildfire research, and its publications have been at the heart of cutting edge wildfire research in the past 30 years. Many of the modern rules of fire mitigation started with IBHS research and were formulated by the Institute.

The report below, dated 2023, is a compendium of the lessons learned on home hardening through past IBHS research. It dives deep into issues and statistics, and discusses home mitigations that make a difference.
