See below for an opportunity to contribute to a survey designed to assess national prescribed fire capacity and related insurance limitations. Federal and state partners should not participate in the survey. Please direct questions to Michelle Greiner at Colorado State University.
RVCC, Colorado State University, University of Michigan, the Fire Learning Network, and the Watershed Research and Training Center are launching a national survey to gather information about prescribed fire implementation capacity, insurance access and barriers.
Your practitioner role and experience planning and implementing prescribed fire operations is crucial to informing survey partners as we are seeing an influx of new federal and state funding for wildfire hazard mitigation.
With your help, survey partners will gain an improved understanding of on-the-ground capacities and challenges; current ability to grow capacity; and impacts of the widespread loss of prescribed fire insurance policies. The survey will also help collaborators create a publicly available list of organizations that implement, plan, and support prescribed fire.
The survey is open for a limited time – Mon, Oct. 31th – Wed, Nov. 30th, 2022. Please visit the survey website here to learn more and to take the survey. If you have any questions about this outreach, please contact Michelle Greiner, CSU researcher and survey partner at [email protected].
Thank you for helping us understand capacity and barriers for prescribed burning in your region.
