Conference Highlights- Reframing WUI Fire Disasters: A New Approach
In case you missed it, we have posted the special panel discussion from last week's conference entitled "Reframing Wildland/Urban Interface Fire Disasters: A New Approach."

The panel discussion features Jack D. Cohen, Research Physical Scientist, USDA Forest Service, Sarah McCaffrey, Research Social Scientist, USDA Forest Service, and Scott Shuford, NOAA and Shuford Planning Services. The panel discussed the historic and social aspects of how decades of fire exclusion in the WUI has increased the probabilities and risks from wildfire threat, and the impact of climate change on wildfires.
