Disasters like hurricanes, hailstorms, tornadoes, and wildfires can be devastating and frightening. They displace families, drive financial loss, and destroy communities. Join us as we sit down with science, insurance, and building industry professionals who will help us explore the intersection of these hazards with the built environment and steps being taken to prevent future devastation.

S4E15: Embers at the Edge: Modeling Fire Spread in the Wildland-Urban Interface, Partners in Resilience Part 1
Wildland-Urban Interface fires are among the most destructive wildfire events, transforming into conflagration scenarios that result in catastrophic losses of homes, infrastructure, and lives. This episode of Disaster Discussions dives into cutting-edge work with research partners at UC Berkeley based on findings from the IBHS Structure-to-Structure Fire Spread experiment. The discussion focuses on looking at how wildfires spread into urban communities, exploring how the researchers are improving fire modeling and gathering real-world data to help improve fire modeling tools that can help predict and prevent these urban fire disasters.   This episode's guests are Dr. Michael Gollner, UC Berkeley Associate Professor and Deb Faculty Fellow from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Dr. Wuquan Cui, Postdoc at UC Berkeley.
