Abstract
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 what fire-adapted communities look like or how different kinds of communities
can achieve this goal. This research advances knowledge about community fire adaptation while also
recognizing that social and biophysical context varies among communities.
