During Wildfire Preparedness Month, Mercury Insurance shares practical landscaping strategies that can help homeowners create more resilient outdoor spaces

LOS ANGELES, May 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As communities across wildfire-prone regions continue preparing for another active fire season, Mercury Insurance (NYSE/NYSE TX: MCY) is encouraging homeowners to rethink traditional landscaping through the growing practice of “firescaping,” a wildfire-conscious approach to yard design that can help reduce ignition risk while maintaining curb appeal.

Research from the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), CAL FIRE, and wildfire safety experts continues to show that a home’s immediate surroundings can play a major role in whether it survives a wildfire. Embers, which can travel miles ahead of an active fire, are one of the leading causes of home ignitions and often ignite dry vegetation, combustible mulch, fencing, and debris surrounding a structure.

“Many homeowners think wildfire mitigation means removing everything from their yard, but firescaping is really about making smarter choices around how outdoor spaces are designed and maintained,” said Holly Sacks, Director, Portfolio Underwriting and CAT Management at Mercury Insurance. “Small landscaping changes can help reduce opportunities for embers to ignite around the home while still creating an attractive and enjoyable outdoor environment.”

IBHS and CAL FIRE guidance emphasize the importance of reducing combustible materials closest to the home, particularly within the first five feet surrounding a structure, often referred to as “Zone 0.” This area is considered critical because embers frequently accumulate near foundations, vents, fences, decks, and landscaping features during wildfire events.

To help homeowners create more fire-conscious landscapes, Mercury Insurance recommends several firescaping strategies supported by wildfire preparedness experts:

Create a noncombustible zone closest to the home

CAL FIRE recommends minimizing combustible materials within the first five feet around a structure. Gravel, stone, pavers, and concrete surfaces can help reduce ignition opportunities compared to bark, wood mulch, or dry vegetation.

Choose plants carefully

While no plant is completely fireproof, IBHS and wildfire experts recommend selecting plants with higher moisture content and lower levels of oils or resins. Proper spacing and ongoing maintenance are equally important.

Reduce fuel continuity in landscaping

Dense clusters of shrubs and vegetation can allow fire to spread more easily across a property. Spacing plants apart and avoiding continuous rows of vegetation can help slow fire movement.

Eliminate ladder fuels

Shrubs, brush, and lower tree branches can create pathways that allow ground fires to climb into trees and spread more rapidly. Trimming lower branches and maintaining vertical spacing between plants can help reduce this risk.

Use hardscaping to create natural breaks

Stone walkways, retaining walls, patios, and gravel paths can serve as attractive design features while also helping interrupt the spread of fire across a property.

Keep outdoor areas maintained year-round

Leaves, pine needles, dead vegetation, and debris should be removed regularly from gutters, under decks, and around landscaping features where embers may collect.

According to IBHS research, homes located in the same neighborhood can experience dramatically different outcomes during a wildfire depending on surrounding conditions, maintenance, and mitigation efforts.

“Preparedness does not have to come at the expense of curb appeal,” Sacks added. “Firescaping is about creating a safer, more resilient property while still maintaining outdoor spaces homeowners can enjoy.”

Commercialization in China through partnership with SciClone Pharmaceuticals

Expands access to potentially life-saving antibiotic 
in the world’s second-largest pharmaceutical market

NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: CPIX), an innovation focused biopharmaceutical company, today announced the launch of its Vibativ^® (telavancin) injection in China, following regulatory approval and a strategic partnership with SciClone Pharmaceuticals (Holdings) Limited.

The launch follows a previously announced agreement granting SciClone exclusive rights to register, promote and distribute telavancin, injection across China. The product’s approval by China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) enables SciClone to commercialize the product in one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing pharmaceutical markets.

Telavancin is a patented, FDA-approved injectable anti-infective that serves as a potentially life-saving treatment for patients with serious bacterial infections, including hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated pneumonia. The therapy is designed to treat infections due to Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and other Gram-positive bacteria, including Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA). Vibativ addresses a range of Gram-positive bacterial pathogens, including those that are considered difficult-to-treat and multidrug-resistant.

“Launching telavancin in China marks a significant milestone in advancing our mission of providing unique products that improve the quality of patient care,” said A.J. Kazimi, Cumberland Pharmaceuticals CEO. “Through our partnership with SciClone, we are expanding access to this important therapy and providing physicians in China with a valuable new option to treat serious, difficult-to-manage infections.”

Antimicrobial resistance continues to be a critical global health challenge, reducing the effectiveness of many existing antibiotics and increasing the need for innovative treatments. Telavancin was specifically designed to address resistant pathogens, offering potent activity against difficult-to-treat infections.

Mr. Zhao Hong, President and Chief Executive Officer of SciClone Pharmaceuticals, stated, “The successful launch of telavancin for injection in China represents another important milestone for SciClone Pharmaceuticals in the anti-infective field. Currently, MRSA remains a serious challenge and poses a significant clinical threat, particularly in respiratory tract infections, especially those that are hospital-acquired. With its unique dual bactericidal mechanism, broad antibacterial spectrum, and once-daily dosing regimen, telavancin offers an important new anti-infective option for Chinese patients with severe infections, delivering both improved efficacy and clinical convenience. Looking ahead, SciClone Pharmaceuticals will continue to focus on severe infection and oncology, address unmet medical needs, and accelerate the launch of more innovative products in China to contribute to the ‘Healthy China 2030’ initiative.”

About Vibativ



^®

Vibativ^® (telavancin) injection was discovered in a research program dedicated to finding new antibiotics for serious infections due to Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and other Gram-positive bacteria, including MRSA and MSSA. It is a once-daily, injectable lipoglycopeptide antibiotic with in vitro potency, bactericidal activity within six hours and penetration into target infection sites. The drug is approved in the U.S. and Saudi Arabia for the treatment of adult patients with hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (HABP/VABP) caused by susceptible isolates of S. aureus when alternative treatments are not suitable.

In addition, telavancin is approved in the U.S. and Saudi Arabia for the treatment of adult patients with complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSI) caused by susceptible isolates of Gram-positive bacteria, including S. aureus, both methicillin-susceptible (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant (MRSA) strains. The product labeling also describes the use of telavancin in treating patients whose pneumonia or skin infection is complicated by concurrent bacteremia. The product’s proven efficacy against difficult-to-treat Gram-positive infections has been demonstrated in several large, multinational registrational studies, which involved one of the largest cohorts of patients with S. aureus infections studied to date. Importantly, these studies demonstrated significantly higher cure rates for telavancin as compared to vancomycin in HABP/VABP due to any single Gram-positive pathogen or S. aureus with vancomycin MIC ≥1 µg/mL. Additionally, there is extensive and well-documented evidence of the drug’s in vitro potency and in vivo activity against a broad collection of Gram-positive bacterial pathogens, including those that are considered difficult-to-treat and multidrug-resistant.
