SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Wildland Fire Research to Protect Health and the Environment
DESCRIPTION:EPA Tools & Resources Webinar: \nWildland Fire Research to Protect Health and the Environment \nWednesday\, March 15\, 2023 \n3-4 pm ET \nThe west and other parts of the US have experienced significant forest fires in recent years. These fires have been devastating to infrastructure\, yet there is limited knowledge of the human health impacts of smoke emissions. EPA is using its expertise in air quality research to fill the gaps in scientific information and to develop tools to prevent and reduce the impact of smoke from wildfires and controlled or prescribed burns. This webinar will provide an update on Wildland Fire Research to Protect Health and the Environment. Research includes wildfire impacts on human health and ecosystems\, a comparative assessment of air quality and public health impacts from prescribed fire and wildfire smoke\, air sensors for smoke monitoring applications\, an EPA air sensor loan program\, resources on indoor air filtration during smoke events\, and communication strategies to enhance local readiness for wildfires. Register for the webinar: Wildland Fire Research to Protect Health and the Environment! \nFor additional information\, you can learn about the webinar series and check out recordings here. \n \nToolsWebinar_Flyer_Wildfires (PDF

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: Prescribed Burning with Research and Training Objectives
DESCRIPTION:SFE WEBINAR: BURNING WITH RESEARCH AND TRAINING OBJECTIVES\nFEB. 23RD @ 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM\nA free one-hour webinar from The Nature Conservancy in Florida\, the Southern Fire Exchange\, and the University of Florida. \nSociety of American Foresters CFE Credit Expected. \nPresenter: Andy Rappe\, Preserve Management Director\, The Nature Conservancy in Florida \nWebinar Description: For fire practitioners\, a disconnect often exists with between research\, training and controlled burn objectives. Too often\, researchers are viewed at best as “curious non-producers” and at worst a liability that compromises safety and operational tempo. Likewise\, trainees are often tightly controlled under multiple layers of overhead\, which limits learning opportunities. The intent of this talk is to demonstrate how research and training can have a positive effect – and even serve as the catalyst for a successful fire program. Following the presentation there will be time for audience Q/A with the speaker. \nRegistration Link:  https://ufl.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_9ywyLgZqTqWDhx2l4NA1uQ \nWebinar Partners: University of Florida\, The Nature Conservancy in Florida\, and the Southern Fire Exchange. \nWebinar Target Audience: Prescribed Fire Managers\, Land Managers\, Researchers\, Scientists\, Graduate Students

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: The Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) Modeling System version 5.4
DESCRIPTION:EPA Tools & Resources Webinar:\nThe Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) Modeling System (version 5.4)\nWednesday\, January 18\, 2023\n3-4 pm ET\nThe Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) Modeling System is EPA’s premier modeling system for studying air pollution from global to local scales. For nearly a quarter century\, EPA\, states and tribes have used CMAQ to support air quality management. CMAQ is continually updated to incorporate new knowledge on the state-of-the science to provide a powerful computational tool for translating fundamental atmospheric science principles to policy scenarios. In October 2022\, CMAQ version 5.4 (CMAQv5.4) was publicly released. CMAQv5.4 introduces the Community Regional Atmospheric Chemistry Multiphase Model (CRACMM)\, an innovative new approach to describe atmospheric chemistry. Other new features include an improved model for aerosol dry deposition and expanded options for modeling biogenic emissions.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: How States Can Better Budget for Wildfires
DESCRIPTION:Government officials and Pew experts will discuss key issues and findings from a new report \nDecember 15\, 2022 from 2:00 PM-3:00 PM ET \nHosted by: The PEW Charitable Trusts \nOn Thursday\, Dec. 15\, The Pew Charitable Trusts will host leaders from federal and state agencies to deliver perspectives on the growing burden of wildfires on state budgets. The expert panel will build on the key findings and recommendations from a forthcoming Pew study\, “Wildfires: Burning Through State Budgets.” \nWildfires in the United States have become more catastrophic and expensive in recent years\, with the U.S. Department of the Interior and the Forest Service nearly doubling their combined spending on wildfire management in the past decade. As more frequent and severe fires drive up public spending\, policymakers at all levels of government are faced with decisions about how to pay for the diverse array of interventions required to deal with them. \nDuring this event\, practitioners from state forestry and budget agencies\, as well as federal partners\, will detail their experiences and provide insights on challenges and promising practices in addressing budgeting issues related to wildfire management. \nFor more information about this event\, please contact Jimmy Einsiedler at jeinsiedler@pewtrusts.org. \nRegistration Required.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: USFS Wildland Fire Metareview
DESCRIPTION:Analyzing 10 Years of Firefighter Safety and Wellbeing: A Metareview\n\nAs part of the Forest Service’s quest to be a learning organization\, it is important for all levels of the agency to learn as much as possible from accidents and incidents. In 2015\, agency leadership directed the Forest Service Innovation and Organizational Learning team (IOL) to look across multiple years of incidents and accidents to see what lessons could be learned by taking a “meta” approach to systematically reviewing past events. Looking across multiple incidents allows themes to be detected in ways that single accidents don’t allow. The resulting effort\, the Wildland Fire Metareview\, 2007-2016\, examined accidents and incidents\, including fatality incidents\, in the Forest Service over a ten-year period.\n\nThe team behind the metareview is hosting a webinar\, “Forest Service: Wildland Fire Metareview Overview and Discussion\,” on Tuesday\, December 8 at 2:00 PM ET.

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: Strategic Burning with a Simple Prioritization Model
DESCRIPTION:SFE Webinar: Strategic Burning with a Simple Prioritization Model\n Presented by Dr. Joe O’Brien\, USDA Forest Service Southern Research Station\n December 8\, 2022 @ 1:00-2:00 PM EST\n Free Registration Here: https://ufl.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_spjT9CRuTciSj4QiFj7N1Q?fbclid=IwAR2yHrtCNOqC-kBPlWc571BwWKH8VdsQkrZD2jdwwfGshIXrotFMPFaGcec \nWebinar description:\nIncreasing the pace and scale of prescribed fire treatments safely while meeting often conflicting management objectives can seem impossible. However\, success can be achieved with a relatively straightforward strategy that leverages spatial data and a consensus on fire management priorities among stakeholders. We will use a simple but effective burn prioritization model developed for Oconee National Forest to demonstrate the approach and discuss tradeoffs that must necessarily occur when new priorities emerge. The method resulted in the near doubling of prescribed fire treatment efficiency at the Oconee and the approach is based on science\, is transparent\, and flexible.\nFollowing the presentations there will be time for audience Q/A with the speaker.\n\nHosted by the Southern Fire Exchange in partnership with the USDA Forest Service Southern Research Station and the University of Florida.\n\nSociety of American Foresters CFE Credit Expected.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Can restoration of of fire-dependent ecosystems reduce ticks and tick-borne disease prevalence in the eastern United States?
DESCRIPTION:Can restoration of fire-dependent ecosystems reduce ticks and tick-borne disease prevalence in the eastern United States? \nNovember 8\, 2022 1:00 – 2:00 PM ET \nHosted by the Oak Woodlands & Forests Fire Science Consortium and the North Atlantic Fire Science Exchange \nThe Wildlife Society and The Society of American Foresters continuing education credits (1 hour Cat 1) anticipated. \nRegister here: https://umsystem.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcrcuqoqT8pGdzK0DdqiqvRRblIf9w98lFQ\nA unique Zoom Meeting link will be emailed to you. Enter the meeting room beginning at 12:45 pm (central time) on the day of the webinar.   \nWebinar abstract:  Over the past century\, fire suppression has facilitated broad ecological changes in the composition\, structure\, and function of fire-dependent landscapes throughout the eastern US\, which are in decline. These changes have likely contributed mechanistically to the enhancement of habitat conditions that favor pathogen-carrying tick species\, key wildlife hosts of ticks\, and interactions that have fostered pathogen transmission among them and to humans. While the long-running paradigm for limiting human exposure to tick-borne diseases focuses responsibility on individual prevention\, the continued expansion of medically important tick populations\, increased incidence of tick-borne disease in humans\, and emergence of novel tick-borne diseases highlights the need for additional approaches to stem this public health challenge. Another approach that has the potential to be a cost-effective and widely applied but that remains largely overlooked is the use of prescribed fire to ecologically restore degraded landscapes that favor ticks and pathogen transmission. We examine the ecological role of fire and its effects on ticks within the eastern United States\, especially examining the life cycles of forest-dwelling ticks\, shifts in regional-scale fire use over the past century\, and the concept that frequent fire may have helped moderate tick populations and pathogen transmission prior to the so-called fire-suppression era that has characterized the past century. We explore mechanisms of how fire and ecological restoration can reduce ticks\, the potential for incorporating the mechanisms into the broader strategy for managing ticks\, and the challenges\, limitations\, and research needs of prescribed burning for tick reduction. \n \nThis webinar will include findings from the following publication: Gallagher\, Michael R.\, Kreye\, Jesse K.\, Machtinger\, Erika T.\, Everland\, Alexis\, Schmidt\, Nathaniel\, and Skowronski\, Nicholas S.. 2022. “ Can Restoration of Fire-Dependent Ecosystems Reduce Ticks and Tick-Borne Disease Prevalence in the Eastern United States?.” Ecological Applications 32( 7): e2637. https://doi.org/10.1002/eap.2637
