Recovery & adaptation after wildfire across the US, 2009-2011
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.
Part of the solution to dealing with the increasing complexity of wildfire management is to reduce uncertainties inherent within active fire management, where time-sensitive decisions often rely upon incomplete information. Breaking out of the wildfire paradox requires aligning the short-term operational objectives of incident responders with the longer term ecological and management obje
As part of our effort to advance policies and practices that sustain working lands, connected landscapes, and native species, WLA is offering this interactive practitioner exchange focused on prescribed fire on private land. We are enlisting a panel of experts from across the West with experience in various aspects of prescribed fire in diverse settings.
Unfortunately, reduced visibility from wildland fire smoke has contributed to fatal incidents or accidents with serious bodily injury in several areas across the country.
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.
