USAA has been on a 10-year journey to find ways to underwrite homeowners insurance in the WUI.

The carbon carrying capacity (CCC) of an ecosystem is determined by prevailing climate and natural disturbance conditions.  Projected climate change and increasing area burned have the potential to alter forest CCC.  We have been working across several landscapes to quantify the effects of projected climate and wildfire on forest carbon dynamics and the potential for management to mit

Natural Hazard Mitigation Plans (NHMP) and Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPP) both benefit communities striving to reduce risk to natural hazards. Though one plan is focused on the wildfire hazard and other is focused on multi-natural hazards, the requirements of what needs to be in the plans are similar.

This webinar will go through some of the new and exciting fundamental research being conducted by the Forest Service at the Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory. About half of the Forest Service budget is spent on fire suppression, yet we still can’t explain exactly how wildland fires spread.

Becoming a fire-adapted community that can live with wildfire is envisioned as a continuous, iterative process of adaptation.

What is the role of local stakeholders and social data in the Landscape Conservation Design (LCD) process? How can information on local stakeholder and social data be used to increase the efficacy and utilization of LCDs by conservation organizations? Research currently being conducted by Dr.

The Unmanned Aerial Systems (Drone) Resource Management Technologies – Fuel Load and Noxious Weeds Program can map, identify, treat, quantify and measure fuel loads and noxious weeds utilizing hyperspectral and LiDAR sensors combined with UAS (Drone) technologies. Chris Wilson of Wilson Herbicide, partnered with Maser Consulting, presents.
