The International Code Council and the National Association of Resource Conservation and Development Councils have formed the National Wildland Urban Interface Council (NWUIC) to address challenges associated with the growing threat from wildfires in urban neighborhoods that border wildland areas. According to a recent press release, the NWUIC was a primary recommendation of a National Blue Ribbon Panel on Wildland Urban Interface Fire organized by the ICC. The group's first meeting is scheduled for Nov. 3-4 in Washington, D.C.
