The cascading effects of post wildfire can bring more devastation to an already battered community. Utah’s Post Wildfire Mitigation Team, established in 2019, is led by the Utah Division of Emergency Management. It brings together Federal, State, private and local partners to meet with communities throughout Utah affected by wildfires. The team discusses actions, makes available resources, and identifies hazard mitigation opportunities to assist communities with the cascading events that can occur post wildfire. Bringing a “One stop shop” to communities.

Communities have long used landscaping codes to reduce water consumption, but a few stand-out cities have crafted codes that pair water-wise goals with fire-wise principles. Join experts for an hour-long webinar exploring how these double-duty landscaping codes can reduce fire risk and encourage water conservation in your community.

The Southwest Ecological Restoration Institutes (SWERI) established the ReShape program in response to feedback from policymakers, land managers, and researchers. ReShape (reshapewildfire.org) compiles and displays national-scale data on forest treatments and wildfires through the Treatment and Wildfire Interagency Geodatabase (TWIG), a user-friendly, collaborative, and open-access decision support tool. Research efforts focus on four key areas: social science for collaborative decision-making, biophysical effects of forest treatments, data science for large dataset analysis, and economic assessments led by the Conservation Economics Institute. At this critical stage, ReShape is fostering dialogue on TWIG’s effectiveness while refining the tool to better support wildfire risk reduction efforts.
This webinar will provide a tool demonstration, lessons from case studies, and a Q&A session to help researchers, land managers, and graduate students access and incorporate nationwide wildfire and fuel treatment data through the TWIG into their analyses for better understandings of fuel treatment effectiveness across boundaries.
