Modeling Dynamic Fuels with an Index System: MoD-FIS in the Great Basin & Southwestern U.S.

This webinar is co-hosted by LANDFIRE and members of the Joint Fire Science Program: Great Basin Fire Science, Southwest Fire Science, and Northern Rockies Fire Science. Content will address challenges that managers of large landscapes deal with in these regions.

The LANDFIRE Program strives to produce consistent fire behavior fuel model grids for the U.S. These models are relevant for…

Fall 2017 Klamath River Prescribed Fire Training Exchange

Please find attached the Fall 2017 Klamath River Prescribed Fire Training Exchange (TREX) announcement with details about the online application process, training requirements, and much more. We are excited to carry on this grassroots effort to bring good fire back to the Western Klamath Mountains through creating co-ownership of fire on our landscape.

Dates are…

Rangeland Fire Protection Associations: Fire adaptation and relationships in OR and ID

This webinar presents an overview of RFPAs, which are unique partnerships wherein ranchers and the BLM work together to suppress rangeland wildfires. Using four case studies in Oregon and Idaho, Emily Jane Davis, Oregon State University, discusses the value and outcomes of this approach, as well as challenges and future implications for fire adaptation on the range.

Establishing the Tribal Mitigation Planning Framework

FEMA Region 10 supports 271 tribes of which many have proactively developed a tribal mitigation plan. Tribal mitigation planning provides the framework for a multidisciplinary approach to natural hazards risk reduction. Join the FEMA Region 10 Mitigation Planning team as we provide an overview on tribal mitigation planning and guest speakers discuss how their respective tribes have approached…

Drought and Invasive Species

Drought creates the potential for invasive plant species to increase in diversity and abundance in a variety of ecosystems, often mediated by the occurrence of disturbances (wildfire, insect outbreaks).  Because the frequency and magnitude of droughts will increase in a warmer climate, scientific information on drought effects is needed to inform management and…

Post-fire forest regeneration and restoration under climate change: insight from natural and managed settings

Presentation info: In many California forests, the post-fire regeneration period represents an important opportunity for forest communities to respond to changing environmental conditions, including changes in climate. We examined how post-fire weather and climate can influence tree recruitment by surveying regenerating vegetation 4-8…

Incorporating Climate Adaptation into Natural Hazards Mitigation Planning

Addressing ‘climate change’ at the local, state, or Tribal-level may feel like trying to tackle an amorphous idea, on top of an already heavy work load. The natural hazards mitigation plan, however, can provide a structured format for addressing specific impacts of climate change within existing planning efforts; and provide a starting point for linking with other planning mechanisms. This…
