The theme of the second annual workshop is “Making a Difference–Building Capacity, Improving Preparedness, and Learning from Experience.” IAWF is presenting the workshop in partnership with WFLC and the Western, Southeast and Northeast Regional Strategy Committees.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Join us for a half day of shared learning for ALL stakeholders about the Cohesive Wildland Fire Strategy and your role in our complex wildland fire system. The facilitated learning event will bring community and agency leaders together to share information and develop recommended actions for locally relevant wildland fire challenges in Crook County.
The importance of smoke has been well-observed by managers through frequent concerns expressed over smoke. Public perceptions of fuel reduction techniques, with a particular emphasis on using prescribed fire as a management tool, have been under study for almost a decade.
