SUMMARY:Using Soil Moisture Information to Better Understand and Predict Wildfire Danger
DESCRIPTION:Symposium recordings. \nDescription: This free online symposium for researchers and fire managers will highlight the latest advances in using soil moisture information to better understand and predict wildfire danger. These recent discoveries are revealing the potential for soil moisture estimates from in situ monitoring stations\, remote sensing\, and models to improve fire danger predictions and to advance our understanding of fire behavior. This interactive symposium will provide researchers and fire managers a unique opportunity to connect with others\, to learn about ongoing research in this area\, and to discuss ways to move forward with new research and end uses. \nPresenters:\nJohn Bolten\, Hydrological Sciences Branch\, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center\nJ. D. Carlson\, Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering\, Oklahoma State University\nNicholas Coops\, Forest Resources Management\, University of British Columbia\nW.

SUMMARY:Evaluating rural PNW towns for wildfire evacuation vulnerability
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Wildfire is an annual threat for many rural communities in the Pacific Northwest. In some severe events\, evacuation is one potential course of action to gain safety from an advancing wildfire. Since most evacuations occur in a personal vehicle along the surrounding road network\, the quality of this network is a critical component of a community’s vulnerability to wildfire. This webinar details a regional-scale screening of wildfire evacuation vulnerability that was completed for 696 Oregon and Washington rural towns. \nSpeaker: Alex Dye\, Oregon State University

SUMMARY:Introduction to 'Compare Weather' functions in IFTDSS
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nDescription: Compare and view up to 5 Weather Scenarios to evaluate effects on fire behavior. Only in the Interagency Fuel Treatment Decision Support System (IFTDSS) can you run fire behavior models and compare the outputs side-by-side. Easily view on the map\, change the inputs and re-run to explore the impacts of weather on fire behavior outputs. Great for enhancing your burn plans\, NEPA documents or understanding and calibrating model outputs.
