2025 WUI updates and revisions have been adopted but are subject to the standard 6-month delay in activation. These revisions include a reorganization of information, helping to clarify provisions that were previously scattered in different places and difficult to follow.

In this webinar, our panelists will review these changes, providing an overview of the newly established 2025 California Wildland-Urban Interface (CWUI) Code, now Part 7 of Title 24. This summary will show how the CWUI Code consolidates wildland-urban interface requirements from three separate California codes into a single, comprehensive document for clarity and consistency. This important webinar will also cover potential future developments to continue to support building design, construction, and code enforcement, addressing broader wildfire risk reduction goals in California.
