21st Annual National Tribal Forum on Air Quality (Virtual)
2021-05-17 - 2021-05-21
On behalf of the NTFAQ Planning Committee and all of us at the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP), the National Tribal Air Association (NTAA), and the Tribal Air Monitoring Support Center (TAMS Center), it is our pleasure to open registration to the 21st Annual National Tribal Forum on Air Quality. This year we are pleased to bring our conference to you virtually, with recorded and live presentations from tribal environmental professionals, U.S. EPA leadership and staff, and many others who are helping to advance air quality protection throughout Indian Country.
Our conference theme is “50 years of the Clean Air Act and How Traditional Wisdom Can Lead Us Into the Future”. Throughout the NTFAQ conference we will be weaving in the voices of Native youth and elders – a reminder to us all of the importance of the work we do. The tapestry of tribal air quality programs is rich and diverse, much like the traditions and languages of Native American Tribes and Alaskan Native Villages. It is in this spirit that we invite you to join us for the 2021 NTFAQ and say thank you, Mvto (Muscogee), Pilamaya (Lakota), Miigwech (Ojibwe), Wa do (Cherokee), Quyana (Yup’ik), Yokoke (Choctaw), Ahéhee’ (Dine’)!

4th Annual National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy Workshop
Virtual
October 4-7, 2021
Hard Truths, Fantastic Failures and Magnificent Successes of Cross-Boundary, Landscape Level and Community-Wide Implementation
From the conference website:
Since the inception of The National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy , we have learned that there are multiple “hard truths” of living with fire that must be accepted in order to make meaningful progress towards the three national goals of Resilient Landscapes, Fire Adapted Communities and a Safe, Effective, Risk-Based Wildfire Response. We have also experienced multiple opportunities where learning continues around:

Significant wildland fire events that are changing the way future fires are addressed,
“Fantastic Failures” where alignment of ideas and resources did not produce the desired outcomes,
“Magnificent Successes” where collaborative, cross-boundary collaboration, prioritization and investments have led to better wildland fire and landscape scale outcomes,

The 4th National Cohesive Strategy Workshop will center on these themes, and focus sharply understanding how the guiding principles and management options are making meaningful progress towards the three goals, to create a learning environment for attendees.

Life from the Ashes: Exploring the Impact of Prescribed & Natural Fire on Insects and Other Invertebrates
2021-10-19 11:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York)
Ecosystems throughout North America evolved with wildfire. Today, prescribed fire is an important tool for managing habitat by maintaining open, early-seral landscapes. Fire can greatly improve the value of habitat for insects and other invertebrates, often increasing species abundance and diversity, however, fire (both natural and prescribed) in the wrong place, at the wrong scale, or at the wrong time can have the opposite effect—damaging native plant and invertebrate communities which may take decades to fully recover.

Partner Event: Workshop on Fire Weather and Forecasting
2024-02-13 08:00 - 2024-02-15 15:00 (America/Chicago)
The workshop is designed to bring together diverse multi-disciplinary communities working in research on operational forecasting and impacts of fire weather, communicating risks of fire weather, economic impacts of fire, and strategies for land management and prevention of fire. The workshop is organized around four themes: 1) fire forecasting; 2) subseasonal to seasonal variation of and climatology of fires; 3) tools, operational needs, emergency management and communication; and 4) impacts/land management/ecology. Overview talks on the first day of the workshop are designed to emphasize what is state of art in each theme, what are existing problems and uncertainties in each theme, what are impediments to solving those problems or reducing uncertainties, and what resources are needed to overcome those uncertainties. Some topics are covered by multiple speakers in order to hear a diversity of opinions. A poster session combined with a reception on the first evening will ensure that all workshop participants are able to present their views on the relevant topic areas.

The International Congress on Combustion By-Products and Their Health Effects (also known as “The PIC Congress”) provides a unique platform for discussion between chemists, engineers, toxicologists, and biomedical researchers regarding the most pressing issues related to combustion pollutants and their associated health impacts. Combustion-derived pollutants are recognized as one of the primary causes of environmental degradation and human health effects. The first PIC Congress was organized in 1990 at the National Institute of Health facility in Bethesda, MD, USA. The Congress is now a biennial event held in international locations such as Germany, Sweden, China, and South Korea. In 2022 it was held in the United Kingdom and in 2024 we are excited to host the 18th International Congress in the United States.
This year the Congress will begin with Registration and a Welcome Reception on the evening of Sunday, May 19th, 2024. The scientific program will be held over 2.5 days, and include plenary speakers, oral presentations, and poster presentations.
The theme of the 18th Congress is “Fire emissions & Community Impacts at the Wildland Urban Interface and Disaster Sites”. These thematic sessions will include the following:
1. Wildland fires– fate & transport of combustion byproducts; firefighter health risks
2. Community based research at the Wildland Urban Interface
3. Air quality monitoring following the East Palestine, OH Train Derailment Research
4. Community based research in East Palestine, OH
5. New and emerging combustion pollutants
