NFPA, IBHS to Accelerate Collaborative Efforts to Reduce Wildfire Risk

QUINCY, Mass. – The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) are “accelerating joint efforts to end the destruction of homes and communities by wildfire,” according to a joint announcement.

As both organizations work collaboratively to reduce wildfire risks through research, consumer education and policy initiatives, NFPA president and CEO Jim Pauley and IBHS president and CEO Roy Wright recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to highlight that shared commitment.

“While NFPA and IBHS have worked collaboratively in years past, this agreement solidifies both organizations’ commitment to proactively working to mitigate today’s ever-growing wildfire threats,” says Pauley in the joint announcement. “I’m confident that our continued work together will help further our shared goal of making homes and communities safer from wildfire.”

What NFPA and IBHS Are Doing to Prevent Wildfires

IBHS and NFPA will “jointly educate stakeholders, including homeowners, on the latest wildfire guidance and the importance of both parcel and community-level wildfire mitigation,” according to the joint announcement.

“As the frequency and severity of wildfires increase, more homeowners are looking for ways to reduce their risk,” says Wright in the announcement. “Coupling IBHS’s latest wildfire research with NFPA’s deep relationships in communities that face wildfire will help reach more people with actionable guidance.”

One of the next updates will be an educational session sharing progress and future direction for their joint work on wildfire preparedness during the NFPA Conference & Expo in June 2025.

The Regulatory Landscape for Clinical CCTV in 2026 As we move through 2026, medical and dental practices across the UK face unprecedented scrutiny regarding patient privacy and physical security. Clinical environments require a delicate balance: maintaining absolute patient confidentiality while ensuring robust protection against theft, vandalism, and false liability claims.

Why Weapons Detection Systems Fail Without Proper Planning

The weapons detection market has exploded over the past three years, driven by heightened security concerns across every vertical market. Healthcare facilities, educational institutions, corporate campuses, and entertainment venues are all investing in advanced weapons screening technology. For security integrators, this represents significant opportunity – and significant risk. Unlike traditional security systems that can be “set and forget,” weapons detection implementations succeed or fail based on factors that extend far beyond technical installation. The difference between a profitable, referral-generating project and a costly support nightmare often comes down to understanding challenges that don’t appear in any technical manual. The False Promise of “Plug and Play” Vendors market their systems as simple to deploy and operate. The reality is more complex. Advanced detection technology may be sophisticated, but successful implementation requires integrators to think beyond netw...
