# Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI)

The wildland-urban interface is the line, area or zone where structures and other human development meet or mix with undeveloped wildland or vegetative fuels.

## Why it matters

Buildings in the WUI face higher wildfire exposure and can face stricter code and insurance rules. Pre-purchase wildfire reviews look at vegetation, roofing, vents and access. Findings can affect insurability and capital plans.
