Austin Wildland-Urban Interface Code 2015 pdf
The Austin Wildland-Urban Interface Code 2015 is a set of regulations and standards established in Austin, Texas to address the unique challenges and risks associated with development in areas where wildland vegetation meets urban infrastructure. These codes are designed to enhance the safety and resilience of communities located near or within wildland areas by implementing specific building and land use requirements to reduce the potential for wildfires to spread from undeveloped areas to homes and businesses. By implementing the Wildland-Urban Interface Code, contractors and developers are able to construct buildings and projects that are better prepared to withstand and mitigate the impacts of wildfires, ultimately enhancing the overall safety and sustainability of the community.
