Wildfire Management

Wildfire management refers to the strategies and practices employed to prevent, control, and mitigate the impact of wildfires. This includes a range of activities such as fire prevention measures, fire suppression tactics, monitoring and detection of fire occurrences, and post-fire recovery efforts. Effective wildfire management seeks to reduce the risk of wildfires to human life, property, and ecosystems, while also recognizing the role of fire in maintaining healthy landscapes in certain ecosystems. It often involves collaboration among various stakeholders, including government agencies, firefighters, landowners, and environmental organizations, to implement plans that promote safety and ecological resilience. Key elements of wildfire management may include prescribed burning, creating defensible spaces, public education campaigns, and developing emergency response plans.
