As wildfires get worse, some states are struggling to pass fire protection rules

As wildfires intensify across the U.S., some states are failing to pass regulations that would require homeowners to use fire-resistant building materials and manage flammable vegetation around properties. These protective measures exist but lack enforcement mechanisms in many regions.

✦ What This Means For Us

Black and Brown communities face disproportionate wildfire risk due to housing in fire-prone areas with older infrastructure and less financial capacity for retrofitting. Students at HBCUs in California, Texas, and Southern states face housing insecurity during fire season. Climate disasters like wildfires also disrupt academic calendars and displace students who can't afford alternative housing during evacuations.
