SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: The Chemistry of Fires at the Wildland Urban Interface
DESCRIPTION:Report Webinar: The Chemistry of Fires at the Wildland-Urban Interface\n3:00 – 4:00 PM ET Tuesday\, September 20\, 2022 \nRegister for the webinar here  \nHosted by the US National Academies of Sciences \nWildfires in America are becoming larger\, more frequent\, and more destructive\, driven by climate change and existing land management practices. Many of these fires occur at the wildland-urban interface (WUI)\, areas where development and wildland areas overlap and which are increasingly at risk of devastating fires as communities continue to expand into previously undeveloped areas. Unlike conventional wildfires\, WUI fires are driven in part by burning of homes\, cars\, and other human-made structures\, and in part by burning vegetation.  The interaction of these two types of fires can lead to public health effects that are unique to WUI fires. \nThis report evaluates existing and needed chemistry information that decision-makers can use to mitigate WUI fires and their potential health impacts. It describes key fuels of concern in WUI fires\, especially household components like siding\, insulation\, and plastic\, examines key pathways for exposure\, including inhalation and ingestion\, and identifies communities vulnerable to exposures. The report recommends a research agenda to inform response to and prevention of WUI fires\, outlining needs in characterizing fuels\, and predicting emissions and toxicants. \nJoin project staff and members of the committee for a public release webinar about the new report on Tuesday\, September 20th from 3:00PM to 4:00PM EDT. \nJoin this public release webinar for the new consensus study report\, The Chemistry of Fires at the Wildland-Urban Interface Report.

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: New Research Towards Improving the Wildland Fire Shelter
DESCRIPTION:A free one hour webinar from North Carolina State University\, the Southern Fire Exchange\, and the University of Florida. \nSociety of American Foresters CFE Credit Expected. \nPresenters:\nDr. Roger Barker\, Burlington Distinguished Professor of Textile Chemistry\, North Carolina State University\nDr. Joe Roise\, Professor of Forestry\, Operations Research and Fire Science\, North Carolina State University \nWebinar Description: For the wildland firefighter\, deploying a shelter is the last thing they want to do – it’s the final resort\, the last line of defense. While there’s no such thing as ‘fire-proof\,’ NC State University researchers are seeking to develop new fire shelters that can buy more time. They were able to demonstrate that new fire shelters could increase the time to failure by as much as 30 seconds – time that could be critical for survival. This webinar will discuss the recent science in the design and structure of wildland fire shelters. Following the presentations there will be time for audience Q/A with the speakers. \nRegistration: https://ufl.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_uQRCFhrRSo2y8YPydd_CvQ

SUMMARY:Fueling Collaboration: Thinking Beyond Fuel Reduction
DESCRIPTION:We often view prescribed fire simply as an alternative to wildfire and as little more than a tool for fuel reduction. This panel will share some of the benefits of controlled burns that go beyond that notion. We’ll explore using “goodfire” for food production\, reducing disease transmission and more! \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Fueling Collaboration: Fire and the Wildland Urban Interface in the Eastern US
DESCRIPTION:Notions of fire and the wildland urban interface often bring to mind scenes from the western United States\, where catastrophic wildfires have led to catastrophic losses. In contrast\, mapping efforts have found that the vast majority of the WUI acres can be found in the eastern United States. This panel will talk about how wildfire\, prescribed fire\, and climate change intersect in the WUI of the east. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Community Wildfire Mitigation Best Practices Training
DESCRIPTION:This national level training from Coalitions & Collaboratives\, Inc. and the USDA Forest Service is designed for current or future mitigation specialists\, wildfire program leads\, and others who work with residents and their communities to reduce wildfire risk. The Mitigation Best Practices training concentrates on science\, methods and tools that will help you engage communities/residents while also helping you to eliminate ineffective practices. \nParticipants should come with a basic understanding of wildfire\, how homes burn\, and vegetation management practices. The course assumes you know how to mitigate\, but that you could use support engaging your community. In this workshop\, you will work through some of the greatest challenges facing our wildland urban interface communities. The course will help you break down ineffective practices to make space for the more effective ones with a focus on the on-the-ground mitigation activities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE \n\n\n\nParticipation in the course is limited to individuals actively engaged in mitigation. Selection to participate in the training will be based on your answers provided and on submission date. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou may view and download the 2021 class syllabus\nHERE.

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: Early Implementation of the US Forest Service’s Shared Stewardship Strategy in the Eastern United States
DESCRIPTION:Register here. \nPresenters:\nDestin Kee\, University of Georgia\nTyler Aldworth\, Colorado State University\nDr. Jesse Abrams\, University of Georgia \nWebinar Description: The Shared Stewardship Strategy was launched by the U.S. Forest Service in 2018 as a means to promote management across ownerships and jurisdictions in pursuit of common goals regarding restoration\, fire risk reduction\, and the management of water and other resources. Since that time\, 28 states have signed Shared Stewardship memoranda of understanding with the U.S. Forest Service and other federal agencies committing to working in partnership. This webinar reports on findings from preliminary research on Shared Stewardship implementation in seven states east of the Rocky Mountains (AR\, FL\, GA\, MA\, NE\, NC\, TX)\, focusing on understandings of “Shared Stewardship\,” perceived opportunities and challenges to working across boundaries\, and changes instituted to date. We will also discuss commonalities and contrasts with Shared Stewardship implementation in western states where federal lands are more abundant. Following the presentations there will be time for audience Q/A with the speakers.
