Elevation-dependent intensification of fire danger in the western United States

Mohammad Reza Alizadeh et al.

Summary: The authors find that there has been widespread increases in fire danger across the mountainous western US from 1979 to 2020, with the most acute trends occurring at high-elevation regions above 3000 m. Previous studies have identified elevation-dependent warming trends, but research on their impact on fire danger remains limited.

Social drivers of vulnerability to wildfire disasters: A review of the literature

Nicole Lambrou et al.

Summary: The increase of wildfire disasters globally has led to efforts to understand and mitigate human vulnerability. However, current approaches focus mainly on quantifying potential exposure and overlook individual and community vulnerability. This review highlights the need for addressing social vulnerability to wildfires by considering factors related to exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. It also emphasizes the importance of addressing inequalities in reducing wildfire vulnerability.

Shifting social-ecological fire regimes explain increasing structure loss from Western wildfires

Philip E. Higuera et al.

Summary: Structure loss has increased significantly due to the wildfire crisis in the western United States. The increase in structure loss is not solely due to the expansion of burned areas, but also the increased destructiveness of wildfires. Human-related ignitions, such as backyard burning and power lines, are the primary drivers of structure loss. Annual structure loss can be explained by the area burned from human-related ignitions, while decadal structure loss is influenced by the abundance of structures in flammable vegetation.

Naturally Resilient to Natural Hazards? Urban-Rural Disparities in Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Assistance

Kijin Seong et al.

Summary: The study found that in the United States, urban counties are more likely to receive hazard mitigation assistance compared to rural counties, but rural counties complete projects more quickly, indicating an unfair distribution of assistance in the current system.

Short-Term Exposure to Wildfire Smoke and PM2.5 and Cognitive Performance in a Brain-Training Game: A Longitudinal Study of US Adults

Stephanie E. Cleland et al.

Summary: This study found that long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and wildfire smoke may impact the attention of adults. Daily and hourly PM2.5 concentrations were negatively correlated with attention scores, and the greater the density of wildfire smoke, the greater the decrease in scores. This association was more pronounced in the wildfire-impacted western United States, and younger people, older people, habitual users, and male users were more affected.

A burning issue: Reviewing the socio-demographic and environmental justice aspects of the wildfire literature

Alyssa S. Thomas et al.

Summary: Larger and more severe wildfires are increasingly occurring and impacting communities. While existing literature focuses on burned ecosystems and destroyed structures, less attention is paid to the growing socioeconomic impacts faced by different communities. This study reviews the socio-demographic dimensions of wildfire literature using an environmental justice lens, highlighting the need to consider peri-urban areas, newer socio-demographic groups, and disadvantaged communities. The research reveals a lack of focus on secondary impacts and provides a wildfire-relevant definition of environmental justice to guide policy formulation.

Wildfire, Smoke Exposure, Human Health, and Environmental Justice Need to be Integrated into Forest Restoration and Management

Savannah M. D'Evelyn et al.

Summary: The article highlights the increasing size and severity of wildfires in the western United States, creating an environmental and social crisis that must be approached from a transdisciplinary perspective. Wildfires lead to more severe environmental impacts and smoke exposure, affecting a wide range of the population. Collaboration among scientists, planners, foresters, fire managers, and health practitioners is essential to address the intersection of forest management and human health impacted by smoke.

Flood exposure and social vulnerability in the United States

Eric Tate et al.

Summary: This study explores the geography of flood exposure and social vulnerability in the conterminous United States, identifying hotspots where high flood exposure and high social vulnerability converge. The results show that these hotspots are predominantly located in rural areas and across the US South, with a population of approximately 19 million. Interventions in these hotspots can mitigate both physical and social aspects of flood vulnerability.

Do fires discriminate? Socio-economic disadvantage, wildfire hazard exposure and the Australian 2019-20 'Black Summer' fires

Sonia Akter et al.

Summary: The study reveals a significant positive relationship between fire hazard exposure and socio-economic disadvantage in the Black Summer wildfires in Australia. The most socio-economically disadvantaged communities bore a disproportionately higher hazard exposure, and this relationship exists in inner regional, outer regional, and remote areas of New South Wales and Victoria, the two worst-hit states.

Social vulnerability and aging of elderly people in the United States

Ana Lucia Abeliansky et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the social vulnerability index is slightly higher for men than for women, and increases with age from above 60 years for both genders. Men in the West and Midwest have lower social vulnerability compared to other regions, and higher income mildly reduces social vulnerability for men. Findings also show that socially vulnerable individuals exhibit more health deficits at any age, and a one standard deviation increase in the initial social vulnerability index leads to a 20% increase in the frailty index at any age.

Disproportionate Impacts of Wildfires among Elderly and Low-Income Communities in California from 2000-2020

Shahir Masri et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the area burned by wildfires in California from 2000 to 2020, finding a significant increase in burned area and number of affected Census tracts over the two decades. While Census tracts with higher fire frequency had lower proportions of minority groups, Native American populations tended to reside in highly impacted areas. High-impact Census tracts generally had higher proportions of low-income residents and older populations.

Warming enabled upslope advance in western US forest fires

Mohammad Reza Alizadeh et al.

Summary: Research indicates a significant increase in burned area and occurrence of forest fires in mountainous regions of the western United States over the past few decades, especially above 2,500 meters in elevation. There is a strong interannual relationship between high-elevation fires and warm season vapor pressure deficit, suggesting the impact of climate warming on high-elevation flammability barrier is crucial.
