PROGRAM TRANSPARENCY
Sentinel Program FAQ
What is Project Sentinel?
Project Sentinel is our integrated framework that combines professional assessment, prioritized mitigation planning, and ongoing readiness into one coordinated property protection program.
Is a professional assessment required?
Yes. We follow an "assessment before product" philosophy. A technical evaluation is necessary to identify your property's specific vulnerabilities before any mitigation steps are recommended.
Are exterior suppression systems necessary for every property?
Not for every property. Suitability depends on water supply, terrain, and structural factors. These systems provide an additional layer of defense but do not replace basic structural hardening and defensible space.
Can the assessment be purchased independently?
Absolutely. The professional wildfire vulnerability assessment is a standalone professional service. No equipment purchase or installation agreement is required to receive your technical mitigation report.
Who performs the installation work?
IMWFD acting as your prime contractor, manages the complete project scope and coordinates qualified trade specialists and technology partners for all approved structural and landscape improvements.
Does the program guarantee a property will survive wildfire?
No. No property can be made completely wildfire-proof, and no mitigation measures guarantee survival. Our goal is to significantly reduce vulnerabilities and improve defensive conditions through informed, technical guidance.
What ongoing maintenance may be required?
Wildfire readiness is an ongoing commitment. Periodic reassessment, vegetation management, and professional inspection of installed systems are essential to maintaining your property's protection strategy over time.
