SUMMARY:Emotional intelligence for wildland fire professionals: Why it matters and why you should care
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: It is crucial for wildland fire professionals today to be technically competent in their jobs. What is less obvious and less understood is the cognitive competency needed for our professional job performance. Better understand your own thought processes and how we make decisions on emotional feelings\, social inputs\, and how developing a high level of Emotional Intelligence can affect risk decision job performance as well as our daily performance. \nPresenter: Kelly Martin is a lifelong advocate for the wise use of fire on the landscape\, former firefighter on engines\, hotshot\, helitack\, and prescribed burn boss.

SUMMARY:Wildfire risk to communities: New features and data
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nWildfire Risk to Communities is a national tool with interactive maps\, charts\, and resources to help every community in the U.S. understand\, explore\, and reduce wildfire risk. In the fall of 2020\, the website was updated with new data and features\, including new map views and GIS data available for download. During this webinar\, see a demonstration of the Wildfire Risk to Communities and learn about data updates. Wildfire Risk to Communities was created by the USDA Forest Service under the direction of Congress and builds on nationwide LANDFIRE data.

SUMMARY:Assessing the work of wildfires and identifying post-fire management needs
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Landscapes of the Inland West are deeply affected by 100+ years of fire exclusion\, the loss of indigenous burning\, and expansion and densification of many forests. Today\, anthropogenic climate change and wildfires are modifying the structure and composition of forests across the West at rates that far exceed adaptation and restorative treatments. Fires that occur during the forest planning process can delay project implementation for years\, further hindering the pace of restoration activities. Landscape evaluations and prescriptions are needed so that managers can assess the work of wildfires on affected landscapes; the topic of this webinar. \nPresenters and research team: Andrew Larson\, C. Alina Cansler\, Derek Churchill\, Paul Hessburg Sr.\, Sean Jeronimo\, Van Kane\, Jim Lutz\, and Nicholas Povak.

SUMMARY:Invader impact on soil ecosystems – what every restoration practitioner should know
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Plant invasions cause dramatic shifts in plant communities and ecosystem processes. While these changes are obvious aboveground\, less is known about changes belowground. Focusing on the most significant invaders in our area in the Intermountain West of the United States\, this seminar will highlight how spotted knapweed (Centaurea stoebe)\, leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula)\, cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) and sulfur cinquefoil (Potentilla recta) alter soil microbial communities and nutrient cycles\, and what the consequences of these shifts might be for restoration. \nSpeaker: Dr. Ylva Lekberg is a soil ecologist at MPG Ranch and an adjunct professor at University of Montana. Her research focuses on structural and functional shifts in soil ecosystems associated with plant invasions\, and how these changes may affect restoration success. Prior to her work in invasion biology\, Ylva explored the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in subsistence farmers’ fields in Sub-Saharan Africa\, coastal grasslands in Denmark and geothermal areas in Yellowstone.

SUMMARY:Effects of policy change on wildland fire management strategies
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nIn 2009\, new guidance for wildland fire management in the United States expanded the range of strategic options for managers working to reduce the threat of high-severity wildland fire\, improve forest health and respond to a changing climate. Markedly\, the new guidance provided greater flexibility to manage wildland fires to meet multiple resource objectives. We use Incident Status Summary reports to understand how wildland fire management strategies have differed across the western US in recent years and how management has changed since the 2009 Guidance for Implementation of Federal Wildland Fire Management Policy. When controlling for confounding variation\, we found the 2009 Policy Guidance along with other concurrent advances in fire management motivated an estimated 27 to 73% increase in the number of fires managed with expanded strategic options\, with only limited evidence of an increase in size or annual area burned. Fire weather captured a manager’s intent and allocation of fire management resources relative to burning conditions\, where a manager’s desire and ability to suppress is either complemented by fire weather\, at odds with fire weather\, or put aside due to other priorities. We highlight opportunities to expand the use of strategic options in fire-adapted forests to improve fuel heterogeneity.

SUMMARY:Inclusivity in cooperative extension programming\, with an emphasis on natural resources and climate change
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Through a case study from Washington\, DC\, participants will learn how to get feedback from historically underrepresented groups and tailor cooperative extension programs to people of different races\, ages\, and academic backgrounds. \nSome people\, such as minorities and those from under-educated and lower income backgrounds\, are typically excluded from conversations surrounding the degradation and improvement of ecosystem structure\, function\, and services. In an effort to provide an opportunity for under-served populations to be heard\, inform content creation in academic courses and in cooperative extension programs\, and create experiential learning opportunities for students at our land-grant university\, we developed a survey instrument to gather public perceptions and knowledge on natural resources and climate change. This survey was administered in-person by undergraduate students at the University of the District of Columbia and online in Washington\, DC. We will share the lessons we learned about effectively reaching people and how demographics of stakeholders need to be considered. Understanding what people know and perceive is key to designing effective educational programs\, engaging in collective conversations\, and building effective partnerships that find solutions for environmental problems that benefit the community. \nPresenters: USDA Northeast Climate Hub. Contact Jennifer Ryan\, Science & Technology Training Library content manager\, for more information.

SUMMARY:Wildfire mitigation\, preparedness\, response\, and recovery
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Throughout the past 5 years\, Gila County has been faced with record breaking wildfire activity. Learn how Gila County Emergency Management works with their Public Safety partners to overcome the challenges that come with Wildfire season. Acquire skills about planning tools such as the Gila County Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPP) and how you can help to protect your home and community from the ever evolving threat of wildfire\, and the post-fire flooding events that follow. \nPresenter: Carl Melford\, Gila County Emergency Manager. After graduating from Globe High School in 2008\, Carl began his public safety career as a Detention Officer with the Gila County Sheriff’s Office. Within his first 6 months of employment\, Carl was promoted to Classification Specialist\, and had written his first evacuation plan\, all at the age of 18. In 2011\, Carl graduated from the Southern Arizona Law Enforcement Training Center and was hired as a Police Officer with the Globe Police Department. During that time\, His focus was on building resilient communities\, and emergency planning. In 2015\, Carl was hired by Gila County Emergency Management\, where he began serving many roles in the Emergency Operations Centers across the state\, as well as implementing Gila Counties own Emergency Notification Program. In 2017\, Carl was promoted to Emergency Manager. Since then\, Carl has taken pride in improving the mitigation\, preparedness\, response\, and recovery capabilities of Gila County.
