Egress thresholds and wildfire fatalities

“Preventing deaths during wildfires is a central public safety goal. Communities are often assumed to be safer when they have more ways to evacuate, yet few studies have measured when limited road access becomes deadly. We compile national data on wildfire fatalities and road networks to test this relationship.” Read HERE

Integrating social vulnerability with structure density and hazard to improve community wildfire risk assessments

“…we demonstrated how two common decision support tools, a social vulnerability index and a quantitative wildfire risk assessment (QWRA), could be integrated to create a more equitable assessment of community wildfire risk for the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.” Read HERE

Community perceptions regarding prescribed fires, wildfires, and ecosystem disservices in southern California’s Wildland-Urban Interface

“Wildfires adjacent to highly populated Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) areas are increasingly impacting urban communities in terms of post-fire costs and displacement of populations. But community perception of these socioeconomic and ecological costs, or ecosystem disservices (EDs), before catastrophic events like the 2025 Los Angeles Fires is little understood. “ Read HERE

Fire to Flourish Lessons Learned inits Implementation

“Fire to Flourish was established to test a different way of working — and over five years, it generated hard-won knowledge about what that different way of working actually requires.” Read HERE

Evolving Fire Frequency in the Western United States and Its Links to Human Influence

“Wildfire frequency, however, has shown trends that vary by data set, region, and fire size.” Read HERE

Wildfire decision support tools: barriers, facilitators, and future directions for effectiveness

“…little attention has been paid to evaluating wildfire DST effectiveness at improving decision quality. We turn to the larger natural resource management literature on decision support to argue an effective DST is one that improves decision quality through either decision-relevant information or decision structuring.” Read HERE

Accepting ecologies of impermanence: sensemaking in the aftermath of the Cameron Peak Fire

“I ask how, in the context of the 2020 Cameron Peak Fire (CPF) in Colorado, those who lived through it, those who study it, and those who fight and manage wildfire, engage in sensemaking to understand wildfire, post-fire impacts, and uncertainty.” Read HERE

Can governance networks restore forest landscapes? An examination of nonfederal partners in implementation of the wildfire crisis strategy

“Here we examine both the motivations for, and challenges to the successful implementation of, a networked approach to national forest administration using the Wildfire Crisis Strategy (WCS) as the basis for an empirical investigation. “ Read HERE

Downwind deposition of pyrogenic particles from wildfire plumes

“We develop a physics-based framework that simulates pyro-generation, convective lofting, downwind transport, and ballistic deposition of such particles, thereby characterizing a previously understudied wildfire deposition footprint.” Read HERE

The air pollution benefits of low-severity fire

“…we assessed the causal effect of low-severity wildfire, a proxy for prescribed burning, on subsequent wildfire activity and air quality.” Read HERE
