(Ecosystem Workforce Program, Institute for a Sustainable Environment, University of Oregon, 2021)This literature review synthesizes empirical research about wildland fire communication to provide practitioners, such as land managers, public health and safety officials, community groups, and others working with ...
-
(Ecosystem Workforce Program, Institute for a Sustainable Environment, University of Oregon, 2014)The wildfire dilemma in the United States (and particularly in the U.S. West) has been well documented and its broad parameters are well understood. A very small fraction of wildfire igniting in wildland settings each year ...
-
(Ecosystem Workforce Program, Institute for a Sustainable Environment, University of Oregon, 2015)Wildfire has become a growing threat for communities across the American West and a complex concern for agencies tasked with community protection. This task has grown more difficult due to the increasing incidence of large ...
-
(Ecosystem Workforce Program, Institute for a Sustainable Environment, University of Oregon, 2014)Large wildfires are increasingly common in the American West. The federal government is responsible for the majority of suppression costs, and has a significant interest in policies that can improve resilience at the ...
-
(Ecosystem Workforce Program, Institute for a Sustainable Environment, University of Oregon, 2016)The National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy is a collaborative effort that seeks, in part, to improve multi-jurisdictional coordination of wildfire management and expand local preparedness and response capacity. ...
-
(Ecosystem Workforce Program, Institute for a Sustainable Environment, University of Oregon, 2016)As federal spending on wildland fire suppression has increased dramatically in recent decades, significant policymaking has been designed, at least in part, to address and temper rising costs. Effective strategies for ...
-
(Ecosystem Workforce Program, Institute for a Sustainable Environment, University of Oregon, 2015)Over the past century, wildland fire management has been core to the mission of federal land management agencies. In recent decades, however, federal spending on wildfire suppression has increased dramatically; suppression ...
-
(Ecosystem Workforce Program, Institute for a Sustainable Environment, University of Oregon, 2012)Large wildfires disrupt the lives of families, workers, and employers. However, fire suppression and recovery efforts may provide economic opportunities. Understanding the impacts of large fires can help fire managers, ...
-
(Ecosystem Workforce Program, Institute for a Sustainable Environment, University of Oregon, 2012)Large wildfires disrupt the lives of families, workers, and employers. However, fire suppression and recovery efforts may provide economic opportunities. Unlike with other natural hazards, there has been little research ...
-
(Ecosystem Workforce Program, Institute for a Sustainable Environment, University of Oregon, 2012)Large wildfires have lasting socioeconomic effects on communities located near the fires. Wildfires can unite and divide communities over fire management and recovery, and magnify or create inequities. . . . The purpose ...
-
(Ecosystem Workforce Program, Institute for a Sustainable Environment, University of Oregon, 2012)Large wildfires can have diverse socioeconomic impacts on nearby communities. Fires may have negative economic impacts on some sectors, but fire suppression efforts may positively affect employment and wages during the ...
-
(Ecosystem Workforce Program, Institute for a Sustainable Environment, University of Oregon, 2011)After a century of wildfire suppression, the costs and complexity of wildfire management are increasing. Population growth in fire-prone landscapes, climate change, and diverse land management objectives all contribute ...
-
(Ecosystem Workforce Program, Institute for a Sustainable Environment, University of Oregon, 2011)Although wildfire costs are commonly discussed in natural resource policy and research, how wildfire suppression spending affects local economies has received relatively little attention. Wildfires can have multiple ...
-
(Ecosystem Workforce Program, Institute for a Sustainable Environment, University of Oregon, 2012)Since the 1970s, federal spending on wildfire suppression in the United States has grown, reaching $1 billion annually over the past decade. The USDA Forest Service has also increasingly used private contractors to ...
-
(Ecosystem Workforce Program, Institute for a Sustainable Environment, University of Oregon, 2012)Federal spending on wildfire suppression in the United States has grown over the past decade, but outside of land management agencies, little is known about how funds are spent, which activities are contracted out, and ...
-
(Ecosystem Workforce Program, Institute for a Sustainable Environment, University of Oregon, 2016)The purpose of this document is to examine how some organizations have developed local, cross-trained workforces to address wildfire risks alongside intensifying wildfire management needs. We conducted case studies of four ...
-
(Ecosystem Workforce Program, Institute for a Sustainable Environment, University of Oregon, 2011)As wildfires are increasing in scale and duration, and communities are increasingly located where these wildfires are occurring, we need a clearer understanding of how large wildfires affect economic and social well ...
-
(Ecosystem Workforce Program, Institute for a Sustainable Environment, University of Oregon, 2014)Fire-adapted communities are those that can effectively reduce risk to private property through community actions while allowing wildfire to play a regenerative role in the local ecosystem. However, little is known about ...
-
(Ecosystem Workforce Program, Institute for a Sustainable Environment, University of Oregon, 2017)Wildfires are increasingly common and growing in size across rangelands in the U.S. West. Although fire is a natural component of sagebrush steppe ecosystems, it can also threaten values such as sage-grouse habitat, forage ...
