Regional Fire Mapping
-
Regional fire maps generally offer improved resolution over national products and can provide a variety of information such as fire history, fire type, topography, fuels/habitat condition, and more. In the Southern region, the "SE FireMap" is an exciting new project under development - intended to serve as a cohesive system to track both prescribed fire and wildfire activity on public and private lands.

Fire Liability
-
Liability means the legal responsibility for one’s acts or omissions. Failure of a person (e.g., landowner or burn boss) to meet those responsibilities leaves them vulnerable to the possibility of a lawsuit.

Fire Policy Topics
-
Policy provides the playbook that guides diverse teams of individuals toward common goals. A playbook provides essential coordination for a program that crosses both administrative and geographic boundaries.

Policies
-
Principles, policies, and laws from legislatures and agencies provide a structured approach to managing and regulating wildland fire and smoke emissions. However, these are implemented within jurisdictions and at scales that create a patchwork across large landscapes and can impede efforts to manage for wildfire risk and ecological restoration of fire-dependent ecosystems. First, it is important to know and understand what these policies and regulations require. Secondly, we must work collaboratively to address situations where fire management is inadvertently suppressed or eliminated across natural landscapes.

Landscape Partnership Learning Network
-
Welcome to the Landscape Partnership (LP) Learning Network. a place to build skills for landscape resiliency and connect practitioners and landowners. The LP Learning Network hosts virtual courses that support landscape-level conservation. Through these trainings, practitioners and landowners can learn about decision-support tools, science-led conservation techniques, research applications in the field, and ways to improve landscapes in partnership with other stakeholders. The LP Learning Network is an expansion and continuation of Science Applications.

Does Cattle Grazing Reduce Fire Fuels and Fire Danger?
-
The last few fire seasons have clearly demonstrated that fires are coming more frequently and at sizes that challenge our ability to fight and/or control them. While grazing has been considered and even sometimes used as a fire prevention tool, the actual success and impact have not been clearly documented. This research is another step in learning how to successfully use grazing to reduce fire danger. We’ll be sharing more on this topic in future issues. January 11, 2021
