We reengineer and rebuild after wildfire through a range of treatments, trying to match our built infrastructure to new, amplified patterns of runoff. A national wildfire practitioner speaks to how leaders and policy makers are increasingly recognizing the need to manage the built environment to accommodate these changes, and an environmental engineer shares a powerful story of transformation in the face of repeated wildfire events.

This event is part of a series:
Fall 2024 Lunch and Learn Webinar Series
Webinar series by the Northwest Fire Science Consortium
Following another significant wildfire season in the Northwest, many communities and managers are yet again focused on postfire recovery and management. The questions at hand are diverse: How do we cope with watershed impacts and restore burned landscapes? How do we ensure that landowners can access resources to replant? What does community recovery look like from a social and organizational standpoint? How do people recreate in and relate to post-fire and landscapes? Together, how do we recover, reforest, and seek resilience most effectively? Join us for a webinar series to encourage broad reflection and discussion on these questions.
Wednesdays from 12pm–1pm PDT: October 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th; November 6th
