You answer a short, photo-backed evidence questionnaire about your roof, vents, defensible space and more — and get a verification-ready readiness score across the Essential and Enhanced pathways. It is a pre-check toward an IBHS designation, not the designation itself, and it never changes your wildfire-risk score. ![Satelife Wildfire Prepared Readiness report cover showing a readiness score of 74 out of 100, with Essential pathway 87% and Enhanced pathway 50%, marked self-reported and verification-ready.](/images/wildfire-prepared-home/whp-cover.png) ## A readiness pre-check, _not another risk score_ The wildfire-risk report tells you how exposed a property is. The Wildfire Prepared report answers a different question: how close is this home to meeting a recognised hardening standard — and what is left to do? It is evidence-led, owner-reported, and deliberately score-neutral. 01 ### Mapped to the IBHS standard Every question maps to a requirement in the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) Wildfire Prepared Home™ technical standard — split into the Essential and Enhanced pathways. 02 ### Owner-reported, photo-backed You self-attest each requirement and can attach a photo or document. Evidence is judged leniently and trust-first — it assembles a verification-ready pack, never a forensic audit. 03 ### Score-neutral by design The readiness roll-up is its own headline. It is never folded into the wildfire-risk score, so the two reports stay independent and comparable. ## The questions you _answer_ Eleven short questions, each tied to a Wildfire Prepared requirement. Answer from your own knowledge of the home and, where you can, attach a photo or document. Skipping any item is always fine. The selections below are the answers behind the sample report further down. ● Essential pathway — ember & defensible-space basics Is the roof a Class A ignition-resistant covering (asphalt composition, metal, tile, or slate)? Yes — Class ANo / unknown Add a photo or document — optional Are attic and crawlspace vents ember-resistant (1/8-inch mesh or smaller, or tested to ASTM E2886)? Yes — ember-resistant throughoutPartial — some retrofittedNo — standard vents Add a photo or document — optional What is the typical state of the roof surface and valleys? Generally cleanSome accumulation between cleaningsHeavy needle / leaf build-up Add a photo or document — optional How often are gutters cleaned of debris (and are they noncombustible)? Twice a year or moreOnce a yearNever / rarely Add a photo or document — optional Is the 0–5 ft zone around the house and deck clear of combustibles — no wood mulch, plants, or stored items? Yes — fully clear / hardscapePartiallyNo / unknown Add a photo or document — optional How often is vegetation cleared in the 5–30 ft defensible space? Proactively — several times a seasonSeasonally — before & during fire seasonOnce a yearNever / rarely Add a photo or document — optional Where is firewood (or a similar combustible store) kept? No firewood storedBeyond 30 ftWithin 30 ft of the houseAgainst the house / under deck Add a photo or document — optional Are combustibles (bins, furniture, firewood) stored beneath the deck or porch? No — clear underneathOccasionallyYes — items kept under the deck Add a photo or document — optional ● Enhanced pathway — building materials What is the primary exterior siding material? Brick / masonryFiber cementStucco / cement plasterVinylWood Add a photo or document — optional What are the primary windows? Dual-pane temperedDual-paneSingle-pane Add a photo or document — optional What is the deck material (or no deck)? Composite / metal / no deckPressure-treated woodUntreated wood Add a photo or document — optional ## The result: an _Essential / Enhanced_ readiness pack Answers roll up into one readiness score and two pathway percentages, then a per-requirement table that shows exactly what is Confirmed, Unclear, or Not shown — and a closing synthesis of what remains. Below is a real report for a sample Idyllwild, CA home. ![WHP readiness detail page: overall readiness 74 of 100, Essential 88% (6 of 8 confirmed, evidence pending), Enhanced 50% (1 of 3 confirmed, gap), and a per-requirement table marking each item Confirmed, Unclear, or Not shown.](/images/wildfire-prepared-home/whp-result.png) The readiness detail page — overall score, the Essential and Enhanced progress bars, and a per-requirement status table with notes. ![Resolution page summarising overall readiness of 74 out of 100 (Developing) and listing what remains toward a Wildfire Prepared designation across Essential and Enhanced requirements.](/images/wildfire-prepared-home/whp-resolution.png) The closing synthesis — a plain-language read of how much remains to reach a Wildfire Prepared designation, item by item. Honest by design: the output ceiling is **“verification-ready, pending IBHS field confirmation.”** A Satelife readiness report is a self-reported pre-check — it is not an IBHS designation, which still requires an IBHS field evaluation. ## See how _prepared_ your home is Add the Wildfire Prepared readiness pre-check to a wildfire-risk report and get your Essential and Enhanced pathway scores — with a verification-ready evidence pack you can act on before fire season.
