SUMMARY:Geomorphic recovery and post-fire flooding implications following the 2019 Museum Fire
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThe 2019 Museum Fire burned nearly 2\,000 acres of steep forested terrain abutting Flagstaff city limits in northern Arizona. In addition to the immediate fire danger\, post-fire flooding posed a significant threat to the downstream community and critical infrastructure\, prompting a multi-agency cooperation to evaluate post-fire runoff and geomorphic change during the recovery period (Fall 2019 to present). Uniquely\, the burn scar experienced two record-dry monsoons in 2019 and 2020 with minor runoff\, followed by a significantly wet monsoon in 2021 resulting in multiple post-fire flow events and damage to areas identified to be at risk. The timing of these flow events proves relatively rare as most burn scars in the Southwest experience their first major runoff events between a few weeks and months following fire\, with severity of runoff events generally decreasing with time as the scar recovers. This presentation provides a detailed\, multi-year documentation of geomorphic change and recovery in the Museum burn scar throughout its unusual recovery history. Additionally\, in response to the 2021 flood events\, flood mitigation structures were constructed on the floodplain below the Museum scar; the impact of 2022 monsoonal runoff on these structures is currently being evaluated in context with watershed recovery and will be available for future discussion.

SUMMARY:Imagining and designing coherent\, adaptation-oriented laws about wildfire
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nSince 2010\, Australian national and state governments have commissioned at least 101 post-emergency inquiries and reviews\, each of which makes recommendations to improve the way we prevent\, prepare for\, respond to and recover from wildfires. Many of these reviews recommend specific changes to laws and policies\, for example\, to simplify permitting processes for clearing native vegetation and mitigating fire hazards. Of course\, catastrophic wildfires are a growing challenge around the world\, not just in Australia. Fires are breaking records for size\, severity and cost every other year\, and ‘unprecedented’ events are becoming distressingly common. As a result\, recognition that changing fire regimes will require changes to the rulebooks\, is also not limited to Australia. In California\, governments have passed laws that have begun to address issues with liability and insurance arrangements for prescribed fire and to promote the reintroduction of cultural fire management. In this presentation\, we take a step back and ask: What might it look like to design a great legal framework for the kinds of fire regimes that we are going to see in future? And how might we improve the role of law in facilitating rapid adaptation to increasingly frequent and destructive wildfires\, to preserve the hope that we might one day live well with fire?

SUMMARY:Community-focused programs\, datasets\, and planning resources for wildfire risk mitigation
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nMuch of the current dialogue around mitigating wildfire risk to people and property in the United States focuses on vegetation treatments to reduce fuel loads on public lands. There is good reason for that – responsible management of lands within their jurisdiction is embedded within the mission of the Forest Service and other land management agencies. However\, we can conceptualize wildfire risk to the built environment as having three primary components: likelihood of wildfire occurrence\, intensity if a fire occurs\, and susceptibility of an asset (e.g.\, a structure) to being damaged by a fire. Under this framing\, treating fuels on public lands\, sometimes far away from assets at risk\, has a limited ability to reduce the likelihood and intensity of fire at the location of those assets\, and has no effect on the susceptibility of the assets to damage. Conversely mitigation actions that have the greatest leverage on wildfire risk to built assets include reduction of fuels immediately adjacent to the asset and physical measures that can reduce the ignitability of a building. Examples of this include implementing Home Ignition Zone principles and using fire-resistant building materials. In this seminar\, we will share examples of work happening within\, or funded by\, the Forest Service to foster these types of locally-focused mitigation actions and underscore the importance of these actions in the broader scope of the Wildfire Crisis Strategy.

SUMMARY:How an evidence-based approach to community-focused wildfire education programs can put people at the center of wildfire solutions
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThis seminar builds of the March 9\, 2023 “Community-focused programs\, datasets\, and planning resources for wildfire risk mitigation” seminar (presenters: Greg Dillon\, Eva Karau\, Kelly Pohl) by focusing on how to support creation of fire-resilient communities. In particular\, the presentation will highlight how the paired parcel risk and social data approach developed by the Wildfire Research (WiRē) Team supports action on private land parcels\, across parcels within a community\, and across boundaries to nearby public land. The WiRē Team is an established interagency research-practice team that provides wildfire mitigation and research expertise\, data collection tools\, and products for community wildfire education and mitigation programs.

SUMMARY:Public experiences and perceptions with wildfire and flooding\, A case study of the 2019 Museum fire
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: The greater Flagstaff area in northern Arizona has experienced multiple wildfires in recent years that have resulted in post-wildfire flooding. These events galvanized collaborative efforts to reduce hazardous fuels on steep slopes and implement flood mitigation improvements around the city and in the municipal watershed. In this presentation\, the 2019 Museum Fire provides a case study for better understanding how the cascading disturbances of wildfire and post-wildfire flooding\, which can be further compounded by adjacent disturbances like monsoon-related flooding\, impact the public and how residents are informed of\, perceive\, and respond to these risks. This webinar examines findings from two household surveys: one conducted in 2019 immediately following the Museum Fire\, and a follow-up survey conducted in 2022 following flooding associated with the burn scar and monsoonal events. The research presented provides insights into public experiences with and perceptions of wildfires\, post-wildfire flooding\, and forest management more broadly over time\, and offers suggestions for improving the exchange of information between and among agencies and the public to facilitate mutual understanding and enhance adaptive capacity for future wildfires and flood events. \nPresenters: Melanie Colavito\, PhD\, Director of Policy and Communications\, ERI at NAU; Niki vonHedemann\, PhD\, Senior Research Coordinator and Human Dimensions Specialist\, ERI at NAU; and Catrin Edgeley\, PhD\, Assistant Professor\, School of Forestry at NAU

SUMMARY:Wildland Fire Trends Tool: A web-based data visualization tool for displaying wildlife trend and patterns in the western US
DESCRIPTION:Webinar join link. \nPresenter: Douglas J. Shinneman\, Research Ecologist\, USGS Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center \nDescription: Accurately assessing recent and historical wildfire activity is critical for numerous agencies who manage fire-prone landscapes. The Wildland Fire Trends Tool (WFTT) is a data visualization and analysis tool that calculates and displays wildfire trends and patterns for the western U.S. based on user-selected regions of interest\, time periods\, and ecosystem types. For instance\, users can determine whether the area burned by wildfire is increasing or decreasing over time for a specific ecoregion or for land ownership types of interest. The tool is available via a web application and generates a variety of maps\, graphs\, and tabular data that provide useful information for fire science and management objectives\, as well as for the interested public.

SUMMARY:Utah low-tech wet meadow restoration: Virtual workshop
DESCRIPTION:Workshop recordings.  \nWet or mesic meadows are rare but disproportionately important ecosystems in Utah. Gully erosion and channel incision are widespread problems reducing natural resiliency and water storage capacity\, which is impacting wildlife and working lands. Simple\, low-tech restoration methods developed for dry lands of the desert southwest by Bill Zeedyk provide effective tools for protecting and restoring meadow systems. These techniques are cost-effective and hand-built allowing more people to participate in restoration. \nIn this one-day virtual workshop\, Utah land managers and partners will be introduced to: reading the landscape to recognize meadow conservation opportunities\, various low-tech “Zeedyk” structures (e.g.\, One Rock Dams\, Zuni Bowls)\, project planning\, implementation\, and monitoring. Regional instructors will share tips and lessons learned from implementing low-tech meadow restoration projects across the West\, while Utah conservation partners will discuss local opportunities and considerations.
