SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Southeast Climate Monthly Webinar + Heat Vulnerability Tool
DESCRIPTION:Host: National Integrated Drought Information System \nPresenter: Sandra Rayne\, Southeast Regional Climate Center\, Jeff Dodur\, NWS Southeast River Forecast Center\, Chip Konrad\, Southeast Regional Climate Center  \nAbstract:  \nThese webinars provide the region’s stakeholders and interested parties with timely information on current and developing climate conditions such as drought\, floods and tropical storms\, as well as climatic events like El Niño and La Niña. Speakers may also discuss the impacts of these conditions on topics such as wildfires\, agriculture production\, disruption to water supply and ecosystems. The July 14 webinar will also feature a presentation on a tool to mitigate heat stress by making informed decisions on scheduling exertional outdoor activities. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC Prescribed Burning Atlas
DESCRIPTION:Host: Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC \nPresenters: Naomi Stephens (NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service)\, Prof Ross Bradstock (University of Wollongong)\, Dr Hamish Clarke (University of Wollongong and Western Sydney University)\n \nAbstract:  \nA website specifically designed for fire and land managers\, the Prescribed Burning Atlas is a tool to inform prescribed burning strategies and tailor them to outcomes that will best reduce the risk in a target area within available budgets. Backed by eight years of CRC research incorporating thousands of fire simulations\, the Atlas compares the level of risk reduction achieved from different combinations of prescribed burning techniques and compares the costs of different mitigation options and their effect on reducing the likelihood of life loss\, property loss and environmental values\, as well as the effects of climate change on prescribed burning effectiveness. This webinar will provide you with the full details and a guided tour of the Prescribed Burning Atlas\, explaining how the website can support organisations to make the best decisions about where and how to undertake prescribed burning for different areas across New South Wales\, the ACT\, Victoria\, Tasmania\, South Australia and Queensland. \nAdditional information about the webinar can be found here.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Perspectives on Prescribed Fire Management in Longleaf
DESCRIPTION:Host: South Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative \nPresenter: John Kupfer\, University of South Carolina \nAbstract:  \nLongleaf pine ecosystems are iconic systems of the southeastern United States that historically contained a spectacular diversity of plants and animals. These habitats have\, unfortunately\, been degraded and reduced to a small fraction of their former extent through a century of landscape conversion\, logging\, and fire suppression. In response\, many agencies\, NGOs\, private landowners and businesses have committed to longleaf pine restoration\, with prescribed fire serving as one of the primary tools in such efforts. However\, the use of prescribed fire to maintain or restore biodiversity and historic ecological conditions in longleaf pine ecosystems while also reducing wildfire risk may be increasingly difficult as the longleaf landscape is becoming more developed and projected climate changes are expected to restrict prescribed burning opportunities. \nHere\, we present the initial results of a survey designed to provide baseline information on the criteria used for prioritizing potential burn sites\, current burning practices and limitations\, and expectations for future changes in burning constraints. Based on responses from more than 300 fire managers across the Southeast\, our results clarify overall patterns and subregional trends in the seasonal and diurnal timing\, goals\, and associated risk calculations associated with their longleaf pine burn programs and point toward a number of challenges that regional fire managers expect to face over the next 50 years. \nAdditional information about the webinar can be found here.

SUMMARY:IFTDSS: Introduction to Quantitative Risk Assessment
DESCRIPTION:Quantitative Wildfire Risk Assessment (QWRA) is being phased into IFTDSS\, it combines the likelihood of occurring\, intensity when fire occurs\, and the effects of fire on assets and resources. \nIFTDSS. The process follows the steps outlined in GTR-315\, “A wildfire risk assessment framework for land and resource management.” \nThis webinar will provide an introduction to the Risk Assessment workflow in IFTDSS. We will walk you through the required pieces of the Risk Assessment and show you how to work through the application so you can view the final outputs in the Map Studio. \nClick here to register

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar:  Low-Severity Fires Protect Carbon Stores in Global Peatlands
DESCRIPTION:Host: Southern Fire Exchange\, Duke University\, University of Florida. \nPresenter: Neal Flanagan\, Ph.D.\, Duke University \nAbstract: \nSevere wildfires can cause smoldering ground fires that oxidize entire carbon stores and threaten peatlands around the globe. However\, low‐severity surface fires can physically protect soil organic matter by thermally altering surface carbon chemistry\, thus creating a slower cycling carbon pool that positively affects long‐term carbon balances in peatlands worldwide.
