This isn't the original place I saw it but [0 p 49] specifically mentions the 0-5ft zone for protecting the home. It keeps flames from directly touching the house when combined with the larger exclusion zone so trees don't fall onto the house. Maybe if we combine the exclusion zone with a flammability metric for the house because as the house gets more resilient you can bring trees back in closer. Just making sure insurance pays for everything only solves one part of the problem though there's still going to be a lot of pain from people having to go through rebuilding even if the insurance problem was completely smoothed out.
