Problem
California homeowners face increasing wildfire danger, but many lack clear insight into how property features and vegetation contribute to risk, and they often miss available grants, rebates, and insurance incentives for mitigation.
Solution
HomeBase provides an AI-driven platform that evaluates a home's wildfire vulnerability by analyzing uploaded aerial or ground photos. The system assesses structural elements, surrounding vegetation, and compliance with CAL FIRE PRC 4291 standards, then generates a detailed risk score and specific mitigation recommendations. It also identifies eligible funding programs, linking homeowners to grants and rebates that can total up to $10 million. The resulting report can be shared with insurers to demonstrate proactive risk management, helping to lower insurance premiums. The entire process is delivered through a simple four-step online workflow, making complex risk analysis accessible to any homeowner.
