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.
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.
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.
The heart of any natural hazards mitigation plan is the mitigation strategy. The strategy serves as the long-term blueprint for reducing your potential losses identified in the risk assessment. The mitigation strategy describes how you will accomplish the overall purpose of the planning process.
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 pl
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.
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.
Dr. Wayne Cascio, an EPA scientist and physician, will present the webinar “Public Health Impact of Wildfire Smoke Emissions” on June 21 from 3-4 p.m. ET.
