dc.description.abstract |
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 to a complex management
environment. The number and types of
managers and practitioners involved in wildfire
management has also grown. Government agencies,
land managers, air quality regulators, nonprofit organizations,
community leaders, and others have a
diversity of fire science and social science needs. To
protect and restore fire-adapted communities and
natural resources in the Pacific Northwest, a process
for effective dissemination and accelerated user
adoption of pertinent information, knowledge, tools,
and expertise is necessary. An improved system to
connect, engage, and exchange information between
researchers and diverse groups affected by wild or
prescribed fire could enhance exchange of existing
fire science and technologies throughout the region,
and encourage fire and land management stakeholders
to evaluate and adopt relevant fire science. |
