Join the Yale Forest Forum speaker series for this webinar.

Wildfires are becoming more extreme, with longer fire seasons that demand faster initial response, year-round readiness, and stronger interagency coordination. Tribes face disproportionate risks during these conditions, as their homelands are inseparable from culture, identity, and sovereignty. By incorporating emerging technologies, a more risk-informed response model can improve suppression effectiveness while prioritizing firefighter safety. This panel will examine the unique considerations for Tribal incorporation in the newly established US Wildland Fire Service and the integration of emerging science.
