Amid the many talks at the International Association of Wildland Fires's (IAWF’s) Human Dimensions Conference this past March, one collaborative presentation examined the crucial role of collaboration amid countries with emerging fire regimes. The authors, led by Wildfire magazine Contributing Editor Cathelijne Stoof (The Netherlands and United States), Lisa Langer (New Zealand), Julia McMorrow (United Kingdom) and Brian Oswald (United States), observed that as changing fire regimes increase fire risk, there’s an urgency to tackle this vulnerability via international collaboration and exchange. For more of what they’ve discovered, visit the full article (excerpted here) and conference video at WildfireWorld.org. This short article was published in the WildfireWorld section IAWF's Wildfire Magazine and online. It relates to a workshop session at the IAWF 3rd Human Dimensions of Wildland Fire conference held in Seattle in April 2012 (see eScholar ID:237314). The workshop featured a joint a presentation comparing the vulnerability of communities to wildfire in the Netherlands, New Zealand and the UK. Excerpts from the three speakers are available on IAWF's YouTube channel. Julia McMorrrow's part of presentation was read by Brian Oswald (SF Austin University,Texas); she attended via the virtual conference link. |
