Book excerpt: The 2000 and 2002 fire seasons were, by most standards, among the worst in the past. Many argue that the threat of severe wildfires has grown, because of unnaturally high fuel loads (e.g., dense undergrowth undergrown and dead trees), raising concerns about damage to property and homes in the 'wildland-urban interface' (WUI) -- homes in or near forests. Debates about fire control and protection, including funding and fuel treatment (e.g., thinning and prescribed burning), have focused on national forests and other federal lands, but nonfederal lands are also at risk. This new book explores the latest issues dealing with wildfires, the consequences that they sow and what means are being used to prevent and protect the environment and the local populations.

Book Synopsis Public Perceptions of Values Associated with Wildfire Protection at the Wildland-Urban Interface by : Jason Gordon
Download or read book Public Perceptions of Values Associated with Wildfire Protection at the Wildland-Urban Interface written by Jason Gordon and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wildland-urban interface (WUI) continues to transform rural landscapes as previously undeveloped areas are populated with residential and commercial structures which, in turn, impact ecosystems and create landscapes of risk. Within this context, the science of wildfire risk mitigation has experienced renewed and enhanced support among scientists and managers. However, risk mitigation measures have not found purchase in either the public,Äôs acceptance or involvement in this new role of and for fire. This may partially result from little regard for the effects of wildfire prevention efforts on values other than protecting homes and other structures. We report findings from qualitative interviews conducted across the United States to identify and define various values at risk from wildfire. Values influencing risk mitigation emerged from the biophysical, sociodemographic, and sociocultural contexts of wildfire. Findings demonstrate how wildfire is intertwined with diverse sets of risks experienced in daily life. We provide a discussion of how this research impacts the transformation of landscapes and risk management strategies. Identifying and better understanding the effects of values associated with wildfire,Äîand landscape change in the WUI,Äîwill allow natural resource managers and decision makers to develop more effective fuel treatment programs and land use policies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research supported the theory that a wildland urban interface fire prevention program was needed and identified three possible wildland urban interface fire prevention programs: Community Wildfire Protection Plan, Firewise and Ready Set Go! The research results determined the Ready Set Go! (RSG) program was the most aligned with GGFCRD's needs. Recommendations of this research were: (a) GGFCRD should develop the RSG program, (b) A support staff or command staff officer should be the program coordinator. (c) The firefighters of GGFCRD should assist with the education and presentations of the program.
