Book Synopsis Land Use Planning Approaches in the Wildland-urban Interface by : Molly Mowery
Download or read book Land Use Planning Approaches in the Wildland-urban Interface written by Molly Mowery and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within this broader context, this report focuses on a critical aspect of working towards community fire adaptation: analyzing effective land use policy and regulatory solutions in the wildland-urban interface (WUI). The WUI is any area where the built and natural environments create a set of conditions that allow for the ignition and continued spread of wildfire. The severity of how wildfire impacts the WUI is influenced by a number of factors, such as where and how homes, businesses, and infrastructure are developed, weather conditions, and the amount, type, and arrangement of vegetation. Land use planning plays a role in these development decisions, and therefore can be an effective means for reducing damage and losses in the WUI. State and local governments approach WUI planning through a variety of policy and regulatory frameworks. This report explores four western states—California, Colorado, Montana, and Washington—to better understand each state’s approach to wildfire policy and regulation, and to identify potential opportunities for reducing wildfire risk to communities in the future. An overview of the four-state analysis is summarized in Table 1.

Book Synopsis Planning for Wildland/urban Interface Wildfires by : Matthew Williams
Download or read book Planning for Wildland/urban Interface Wildfires written by Matthew Williams and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The project focus was to derive the key factors for performing a suitability assessment for future development in the Wildland/Urban Interface with regards to wildfire hazard. The sources for deriving these factors were based on relevant literature in forest management and land use planning contexts and through reviewing various community wildfire mitigation plans. The factors that were found for performing the assessment were: level of fire hazard, topography, water accessibility, ability to build firebreaks, transportation accessibility, forest management, ability to build densely, enforceable zoning, enforceable building codes and ordinances, community participation, proximity to fire services, and ability to train WUI fire fighters.
Book Synopsis The Fire Next Time by : Jamison E. Colburn
Download or read book The Fire Next Time written by Jamison E. Colburn and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wildfire is a growing threat to suburban and exurban communities, partly because fires have grown more severe and frequent as a result of land use and climatic influences and partly because more people are living in fire prone areas. The so-called Healthy Forests Restoration Act (HFRA), the federal government's response to this crisis, is a deeply flawed statute that will likely exacerbate wildfire risks at the same time it makes real ecological restoration even harder. While HFRA took halting, partial steps toward the integration of broad and small scale land use planning, it was the outgrowth of a dysfunctional legislative process in Washington. Before the governance of public lands adapts completely to HFRA, this law should be overhauled (or, ideally, repealed). I suggest targeted reforms to bring about more transparency, greater clarity on what we mean by restoration, and more attention to the trade-offs entailed by further expansion into the wildland/urban interface.

Book Synopsis The Wildland-urban Interface in the United States by : Susan I. Stewart
Download or read book The Wildland-urban Interface in the United States written by Susan I. Stewart and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this project is to provide information on "the area where houses and wildland vegetation coincide." Although there are other ways of defining the wildland-urban interface (WUI), this is the definition referenced in the National Fire Plan. Details about the rationale, development, testing, and sensitivity analysis of this definition, as well as the data sources and analytical methods we used, can be found at the end of the article in the methods section. The WUI maps and data were created with the hope they would be useful to planners and managers at the local, state, and national levels. Tools and information regarding the WUI are available on our Web site for public use. Users should note that the resulting WUI map does not indicate the risk of fire; it shows only where houses and wildland vegetation coincide. Some of the areas identified as WUI are prone to fire, and some are not.
