Objectives
Experts will discuss fire dynamics and fire behavior and provide additional resources related to the WUI, including:
- The ways wildfires transition to the WUI
- The impact of WUI fires on human, environmental and climate systems
- The risk of wildfires on critical infrastructures and communities
- The importance of community preparedness and response
Understanding these issues will result in better technical solutions, better policies, better practices to save lives, and reduce damage and economic losses from wildfires and WUI fires.
