A very small fraction of wildfire igniting in wildland settings each year turn into major conflagrations that burn homes and infrastructure, pose significant threat to human life, and upend the budgets of federal land management agencies. Although the mandates of federal land management agencies also dictate a focus on protecting public land and associated natural resources such as habitat, the reality is that much of the effort and expense at federal, state, and local levels is directed toward protecting human infrastructure and other societal “values at risk.”en-USCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USWildfires--Prevention and controlWildland-urban interfaceCommunity psychologyWildfire riskWorking Paper
