Wildfires pose a mounting challenge for communities across Canada. But how close is the risk, and where is it likely to come from? Understanding firesheds – the potential areas where wildfires could originate and spread toward communities – is essential for risk management. This webinar introduces innovative new research that maps firesheds, fire spread timelines, and fire pathways for nearly 2,000 Canadian forest communities.

Join us to gain insights into:

• Novel methods for using fire simulations to understand firesheds.
• Key factors, trends, and regional variations in fireshed size, spread speed, and direction (including fire pathways).
• Applications to wildfire risk management strategies and risk assessments for individual communities.
