The Business and Home Hardening workforce and cooperative model represents a rare opportunity for every stakeholder—communities, insurers, utilities, state leadership, philanthropy, and educational institutions—to align around a shared mission: preventing wildfires before they start and creating a resilient regional economy built on safety, equity, and skilled work.
Praxis serves as the integrator that makes this alignment possible. By bringing trusted mediation, communications intelligence, economic insight, and emergency-management expertise to the table, Praxis helps each partner see their interests realized within a unified system. Together, we can build an industry that trains and certifies a new generation of workers, restores insurance stability, reduces utility risk, supports state policy goals, strengthens community colleges, empowers neighborhoods, and anchors long-term community well-being.
The path forward is clear: a fully Hard-Hardened landscape—homes, businesses, and shared spaces—protected by a workforce that is trained, certified, and co-owned by the communities it serves. Praxis stands ready to guide this transformation and ensure its success across California and the Western states.
