Fire Resilience Policy and Planning at the Wildland-Urban Interface: Boise and the Idaho Treasure Valley

Research output: Contribution to conference › Presentation

Abstract

The spatial and temporal distribution of wildfires in Idaho and the United States Inter Mountain West Region will be addressed with direct and indirect policy and planning for the impacts of fire (pre- and post- event impacts). This presentation will show the susceptibility to fire hazards and the potential threats and impacts to the wildland-urban interface using the case of Boise and the Idaho Treasure Valley as an exemplar for other cities balancing increasing urban growth pressure, fragile natural environmental, and resiliency planning.
