Book excerpt: FEMA /DHS/USFA developed the “ Wildland Urban Interface: A Look at Issues and Resolutions” to stimulate action by raising awareness of the crisis that our nation faces related to wildfire in the WUI and lay out a unified, strategic approach to risk reduction at the national, state, regional and local levels. In developing this report, a cross-functional group of stakeholders and subject matter experts (SMEs) from across the nation convened to identify 33 challenges within 13 key WUI issues and develop recommendations to address each challenge. In total, 112 recommendations are presented. These recommendations address challenges in firefighter health and safety, public health and safety, evacuations, forest and rangeland health and resiliency, climate change, community planning and resiliency, infrastructure and utilities, communication strategy and engagement operations, socioeconomic impacts, recovery, emerging technology, data use and modeling, and risk management in wildland fire. The recommendations should be pursued together, forming a system of strategies that require urgent, sustained and actionable implementations. These recommendations are not quick fixes, but solutions for the long term. Leadership on and commitment to the implementation of these recommendations results in a safer America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examined the effect that basic beliefs about natural resources and fire management have on an individual's decision to create defensible space around his or her residence in the urban-wildland interface. Using data from a mailback questionnaire, respondents in north central Minnesota were clustered by basic value-laden beliefs toward forest and fire management and compared across a number of perceptions and behaviors related to creating defensible space around residences. Clusters differed in attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control as they relate to creating defensible space in the urban-wildland interface. In addition, relative effects of these perceptions on behavior intention and behavior differed across cluster. Implications lie in understanding differences in motivations and reasons for support of strategies for managing fires near the urban-wildland interface which will contribute to an improved integration of land management and public concerns and interests.

Download or read book Developing a Wildland-urban Interface Community Risk Assessment for Sandy City written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior to this research it was suspected that Sandy City, Utah, had a significant wildland-urban interface (WUI) exposure, which presented an increased risk to the community for loss of life and property should a wildfire occur. The problem was that Sandy City had not developed any formal risk mitigation strategies to deal with its sizable wildland-urban interface areas. This presented a significant potential risk for catastrophic fire loss to life and property. The purpose of this research was to determine the extent and type of risk that existed to the community in Sandy City's extensive wildland-urban interface areas and determine what risk mitigation strategies could be implemented to reduce Sandy's risk profile. The questions researched were: 1. How much of Sandy City and its response area lies within a wildland-urban interface area? 2.What areas of Sandy City are at significant risk for loss of life and property due to wildfire in Sandy's wildland-urban interface? 3. Based on historical evidence, what are the potential impacts a wildfire may have on the residents of Sandy City and its government? 4. What risk mitigation strategies can be implemented within Sandy City to reduce the risk to life and property from a wildland-urban interface fire? A comprehensive review of historical data relating to prior interface fires with lessons learned, as well as the collection and utilization of noteworthy local fire history, terrain, and housing data was used in the completion of this research. Historical and descriptive research methods were used to determine that Sandy City did indeed have notable areas that were at increased risk for potential loss of life and property should a wildfire occur within the city's wildland-urban interface area. Recommendations included the implementation of specific risk mitigation strategies as well as increased fire protection to include training and wildfire specific equipment for fire service providers.
