Green Fire Assessment

Green Fire Assessment
Could the AIA, perhaps in collaboration with the BIA, Green Building Council and others, conduct an assessment of the fire damage that serves sort of a parallel function to the SD Foundation's socially focused community assessment? Instead of guiding recovery grant-making for social issues, it could guide recovery design/architecture and rebuilding for sustainability issues. I have no idea if there would be any tie to the SD Foundation's work. A "Green Fire Assessment" might have three initial audiences: the design and building communities, and regulation (planning, code, etc.), with an additional version for the homeowner/lay audience. It could be the playbook for how to "make the jump to hyper-Green" where ever you can as quick as you can every time an opportunity like a disaster presents itself. Such an assessment might reveal planning, development and construction forms that:
 * Encouraged or thwarted fire intensity/spread (topography, roads, landscaping, construction materials, etc.)
 * Show resilience - including quick clean-up and habitat recovery
 * Were most "Green" even in fire compared to those burns leaving toxic waste
 * Were most defensible by fire agencies, but just as interesting, were defensible by individual residents and neighborhood groups (shelter in place, etc.)
 * Encouraged, by design, resident and neighborhood participation in maintaining firesafe/defensible space
 * Offered the most evacuation flexibility - including design for refuge/safe-zones
 * Accounted for special populations (elderly, disabled, youth, pets and livestock)
 * Offered the best insurance and financing because of their fire resiliency and "green-ness"
 * And, for which types will "the jump to hyper-green" be easiest now that the opportunity has arisen.

I'm sure you get the idea. A "Green Fire Assessment" might set the stage for a strategy game of replace-and-upgrade-to-Green that gets played out one infill structure/neighborhood at a time all over the county. I am not an architect or planner so forgive me if I have trampled any terms of art.
