Join us in supporting and/or attending the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy Workshop—All Hands, All Lands: "Implementation" Rooted in Science being held in RENO, NEVADA IN APRIL 2017.
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES -
The Eastern Forest Environmental Threat Assessment Centerhosts First Friday All Climate Change Talks (FFACCTs), monthly information sharing forums featuring presentations about research activities focused on climate change impacts to forest ecosystems. USDA Forest Service scientists and partners participate in the web-based meeting on the first Friday of every month.
Our mission in the fire and emergency services is "To Protect Lives and Property." However, our current fire service culture places more emphasis on what happens once 9-1-1 is activated and we are dispatched.
Please join the Office of Sustainability and Climate Change for a 2-hour introduction to upcoming opportunities related to drought and water challenges. We will engage Forest Service employees and partners in planning for and adapting to the impacts of drought and other water challenges in the face of a changing climate.
Join us in California for the 2016 Natural Areas Conference, Climate Change Adaptation and Natural Areas Management: Turning Words to Action. We will explore strategies and tactics that resource and natural areas managers can employ to prepare for and respond to climate change.
LANDFIRE launched the current BpS Review project to ask for expert assistance in bringing the models and descriptions up-to-date.
This webinar will include recent science findings and a case study. Dr. Molly Hunter will present results from an assessment of outcomes from research projects funded by the Joint Fire Science Program to determine whether or not science has been used to inform management and policy decisions. Surveys and interviews explored factors that facilitate use of fire science.
