Engagement in local and collaborative wildfire risk mitigation planning across the western US-Evaluating participation and diversity in Community Wildfire Protection Plans

Emily Palsa et al.

Summary: Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPPs) are a common tool for improving community preparedness and risk mitigation in fire-prone regions. This study investigates the extent of participation and stakeholder diversity in CWPPs across the western United States and finds that they are related to planning process and context.

Socio-demographic and health vulnerability in prescribed-burn exposed versus unexposed counties near the National Forest System

Michelle C. Kondo et al.

Summary: Prescribed fire is increasingly used as a tool for ecological restoration and wildfire prevention. This study found disproportionate exposure to prescribed burns in rural areas with specific demographic characteristics. While vulnerable populations may face health risks from prescribed burning smoke exposure, the benefits of prescribed burning compared to uncontrolled wildfires could be significant.

Homeowners willingness to pay to reduce wildfire risk in wildland urban interface areas: Implications for targeting financial incentives

Jose J. Sanchez et al.

Summary: This study estimated homeowners' willingness to pay for fuel reduction programs and found that risk perceptions play an important role in the adoption of risk mitigation behavior. The study also found that homeowners with lower income/education levels are more likely to ignore risk factors and prefer the status quo, while higher income/education households are more sensitive to risk factors and willing to pay for relevant programs.

The distributional incidence of wildfire hazard in the western United States

Matthew Wibbenmeyer et al.

Summary: Increased wildfire activity in western US has caused significant property loss in wildland-urban interface areas. This study reveals that high-income, white, and older residents, as well as owners of high-value properties, bear a disproportionate share of the wildfire hazard and impact. While high-value high wildfire hazard properties are concentrated in high-density areas, most of the high wildfire hazard area in the western US is sparsely populated and comprises mainly relatively low-value properties.

Parcel-Level Risk Affects Wildfire Outcomes: Insights from Pre-Fire Rapid Assessment Data for Homes Destroyed in 2020 East Troublesome Fire

James R. Meldrum et al.

Summary: Parcel-level risk (PLR) is the variation of wildfire risk from home to home based on characteristics related to fire behavior, home susceptibility to fire, and firefighters’ access. The WiRe Rapid Assessment (RA) is a tool designed to evaluate PLR by using a small set of measures for all homes in a community. This study investigates the relationship between 2019 WiRe RA data and the destruction of assessed homes in the 2020 East Troublesome Fire. The results show that overall parcel-level risk scores and individual attributes are related to the chance of home destruction. There is also evidence of risk spillovers across neighboring properties. The findings highlight the meaningful differences in wildfire risk captured by even coarsely measured RA data and emphasize the importance of considering multiple aspects of PLR when assessing wildfire risk. Lastly, the results underscore the influence of relatively small actions by residents before a fire on wildfire outcomes.

Potential impacts of prescribed fire smoke on public health and socially vulnerable populations in a Southeastern US state

Sadia Afrin et al.

Summary: Prescribed fire is a vital tool for wildfire risk mitigation and ecosystem restoration in the Southeastern United States, but it is also a major source of atmospheric emissions. This study assesses the public health impacts of prescribed burning in Georgia, finding that areas with intense burning activity have higher levels of social vulnerability and potential health risks associated with smoke pollution. The study highlights the need for greater attention to the air quality impacts of prescribed burning in the Southeastern U.S. and communities most affected by fire-related smoke.

Social vulnerability and short-term disaster assistance in the United States

Oronde Drakes et al.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between short-term disaster assistance and social vulnerability in the contiguous US, finding that areas with high levels of both assistance and social vulnerability are clustered in the southeastern United States. The research suggests that social vulnerability should be considered in the allocation of assistance to improve social equity in short-term assistance programs. Damage amount is a major determinant of assistance for homeowners, while indicators of race may influence assistance levels in certain areas.

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.
