Download or read book Living with Wildfire in Log Hill Mesa, Ouray County, Colorado written by and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Residents in the wildland-urban interface (WUI) play an important role in reducing the catastrophic effects of wildfire by performing risk mitigation on their properties. Decisions about wildfire risk mitigation are complex and can be influenced by many factors. In 2017,the West Region Wildfire Council (WRWC), the Log Hill Mesa Fire Protection District, and the Wildfire Research (WiRē) Team collaborated to understand the nature of wildfire risk in the community served by the Log Hill Mesa Fire Protection District. This effort replicates an approach implemented in 2011 and 2012, which collected and analyzed wildfire risk data and social data in the same community of Log Hill Mesa Fire Protection District. This report focuses on the 2017 effort, which offers data-driven insights into the wildfire risk mitigation activities and related characteristics of residents in the Log Hill Mesa Fire Protection District. In general, the 2017 results highlight an engaged community with continued potential for more wildfire risk reduction on properties. Comparison against the 2011/2012 data suggests significant inertia in the ways that community residents engage with wildfire risk overtime, with slight decreases in perceived wildfire risk and select barriers to mitigation, slight increases in engagement amongst residents and with WRWC, and few other significant changes at the community level over time. We emphasize that these results may differ from the results of similar assessments and surveys in other communities.

Book Synopsis Fire Smart Home Handbook by : Clyde Soles
Download or read book Fire Smart Home Handbook written by Clyde Soles and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As climate change continues to wreak havoc on the environment, devastating wildfires, both natural and manmade, are increasing. The figure for average acres burned has increased from almost 2 million acres in 1992 to nearly 7 million in 2012, which set a new record with an average of 165 acres burned per fire. Things are heating up, but global warming isn’t the only problem. Budgets for fire suppression have been slashed severely. The number of air tankers has decreased from 44 in 2002 to just 9 in 2012, which means fast attacks on fledgling fires will grow more difficult in the future. If you live in a wildland-urban interface, the zone between unoccupied and developed land, sooner or later fire will happen. Fortunately you can prepare for the worst, and it doesn’t have to cost a fortune. This highly detailed and practical reference guide will help you live more safely in the red zone and save you time and money along the way, providing multiple methods of risk mitigation along with the financial level of each action. Effectively prepping your land can even enhance the scenery and increase the value of your home. Learn how wildfires begin and behave, how to evaluate your property, what essential tools you’ll need and what they will cost, how to prepare your land and home—including tips on how to avoid insurance nightmares—when to stay and fight, when it’s time to evacuate, how to clean up after a fire event, and more. Even if you live in the middle of a suburb, the information on how fires start and spread and how to deal with insurance claims will prove enlightening and helpful. No one can guarantee that your house or land will survive if a major conflagration erupts, but you can greatly improve your odds with this book and a little preparation.

Book Synopsis Living with Wildfire in Boulder County, Colorado, 2007 by : Patricia A. Champ
Download or read book Living with Wildfire in Boulder County, Colorado, 2007 written by Patricia A. Champ and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The devastating impact of wildfire on residents living in fire prone areas has become an all too common media story in recent years. While significant efforts have been made to inform residents in fire prone areas of the risk, it is not clear to what extent property owners are taking action to reduce risk. Likewise, we know little about what factors are related to taking action to reduce risk. In an effort to explore these issues further and to better characterize the wildland urban interface (WUI) residents of Boulder County, Colorado, a general population survey of WUI residents was implemented. The survey was designed to provide information regarding knowledge, concern, and activities related to wildfire and wildfire risk mitigation. Survey results suggest that word had gotten out about wildfire risk as most survey respondents knew about the risk when they decided to purchase a home in a fire prone area. Likewise, survey respondents expressed concern that a wildfire would damage their home or property. Completing more wildfire risk mitigation actions was found to be related to first-hand experience with wildfire and perceptions of wildfire risk.
