Book excerpt: FEMA /DHS/USFA developed the “ Wildland Urban Interface: A Look at Issues and Resolutions” to stimulate action by raising awareness of the crisis that our nation faces related to wildfire in the WUI and lay out a unified, strategic approach to risk reduction at the national, state, regional and local levels. In developing this report, a cross-functional group of stakeholders and subject matter experts (SMEs) from across the nation convened to identify 33 challenges within 13 key WUI issues and develop recommendations to address each challenge. In total, 112 recommendations are presented. These recommendations address challenges in firefighter health and safety, public health and safety, evacuations, forest and rangeland health and resiliency, climate change, community planning and resiliency, infrastructure and utilities, communication strategy and engagement operations, socioeconomic impacts, recovery, emerging technology, data use and modeling, and risk management in wildland fire. The recommendations should be pursued together, forming a system of strategies that require urgent, sustained and actionable implementations. These recommendations are not quick fixes, but solutions for the long term. Leadership on and commitment to the implementation of these recommendations results in a safer America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fire has been and continues to be both a threat and benefit to humans and ecosystems. Recent large or costly fires have occurred in both the wildland-urban interface and in the wildlands. These phenomena are not new events but merely recurrences of long-standing challenges. The values at risk include, but are not limited to, human life and property, rare or unique cultural and natural resources, and ecosystem health. Much progress has been made during the past several decades regarding fire's role in wildland systems, but many issues still remain to be resolved. This volume presents the proceedings of the symposium, "Fire Issues and Solutions in Urban Interface and Wildland Ecosystems" held February 15-17, 1994 in Walnut Creek, California.
