The team reviewed current literature and synthesized key information from the fields of fire science, forestry, land use planning, and emergency management in order to provide practitioners with relevant guidance.\u00a0 This resource will be an increasingly important design tool in fire-prone regions, as catastrophic wildfire events are projected increase in frequency and destruction.\u00a0 The team partnered with University of Michigan on preliminary research.\u00a0 This project extends SWA\u2019s work on climate change adaptation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text el_class=”swa_column_header”]<\/p>\n
