As we prepare our communities to mitigate wildfire risk, it is important to consider how we might work together to build capacity through innovative initiatives and collaborations.
WILDFIRE MITIGATION AND STEWARDSHIP CREWS
We rely a lot on landowners to remove and dispose of vegetation from around their homes, but what happens if we begin to build workforce capacity to not only mitigate wildfire, but to steward our lands so that we can all better live with fire?
GETTING STARTED: PRESCRIBED BURN ASSOCIATIONS
A Prescribed Burn Association (PBA) is a group of landowners and other interested citizens that form a partnership to conduct prescribed burns. Could a PBA model work in Washington State? This question planted the seed for a learning exchange. Learn more about Prescribed Burn Associations and how burning together can build community capacity.
HOW UTILITIES ARE LEADING THE CHARGE AGAINST WILDFIRE RISK
Utilities play a key role in addressing wildfire risk and keeping communities safe. In this webinar, representatives from Puget Sound Energy and Chelan Public Utilities District share how their companies are increasing their wildfire preparedness and mitigation through fuels reduction, community partnership, and public outreach.
