Partner Webinar: Post-Fire Emergency Assessment Processes (Part 2)

Host: Coalitions and Collaboratives Inc., USDA Forest Service and others.

Description: Flooding and debris flows can be one of the most damaging and deadly processes of the post-fire landscape. Burned area emergency rapid assessments determine the level of threat posed by post-fire conditions to critical values within and downstream of the burned area and develop appropriate actions to manage unacceptable risk. The BAER assessment team evaluates the effects of the fire on the landscape and estimates the potential risk to life and safety, as well as risk of damage or loss to critical transportation infrastructure. Satellite-derived data, field observations, and predictive modeling help to inform post-fire hazard-mitigation efforts. Field verification of remotely sensed data and professional evaluation of conditions on the ground are critical for post-fire management. The second webinar is intended to be a more interactive session to discuss ways in which the process can be used or adapted to meet a wide range of needs outside of federal government.
