Recovery and adaptation after wildfire, 2000-2013

Becoming a fire-adapted community that can live with wildfire is envisioned as a continuous, iterative process of adaptation. We combined national and case study research to examine how experience with wildfire alters the built environment and community- and government-level wildfire mitigation, planning, and regulations. By tracking changing in buildings post-fire (2000-2013) nationally we…

2017 Conference on Fire Prediction Across Scales

Realistic models of fire activity and behavior are necessary for operational fire management, and to understand past and future changes in fire activity. Developing such models, however requires taking into account vegetation cover, land use practices, fire management capacity, extreme weather, and climate variability. To help foster knowledge exchange among the diverse fields of expertise…

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…

Modeling dynamic fuels: MoD-FIS in the Great Basin and southwestern US

This webinar presents LANDFIRE's Modeling Dynamic-Fuels with an Index System (MoD-FIS), which supports the need for fire behavior fuel model grids to predict fire behavior, during drought or seasonably dry conditions. These provisional products have been released for the Southwest and Great Basin regions, and are ready for testing and review by those who use LANDFIRE data.  In this…
