Book Synopsis Land Use Planning Approaches in the Wildland-urban Interface by : Molly Mowery

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 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 Before the governance of public lands adapts completely to HFRA, this law should be overhauled (or, ideally, repealed).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 Understanding Wildland Urban Interface with Prevention Planning by : Philip R. Davis
Download or read book Understanding Wildland Urban Interface with Prevention Planning written by Philip R. Davis and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history, the primary purpose of a Fire Department was to protect life and property. That protection met with various degrees of success. When citizens were willing to live by reasonable standards, the possibilities of success increased. The development of the Wildland Urban Interface created problems for many of today's Fire Departments. People moved into the wildlands to get away from the pressures of urban living. Many did so without being aware of the effect they would have on their new environment. They moved back to nature without the wisdom to successfully protect themselves from the wildlands. Wildland dwellers had to take some of the responsibilities for the prevention actions required for their owner's protection. Research was conducted for these purposes. First, Wildland Urban Interface: What it is, where it is, fire management problems, and wildland prevention planning.

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.
