FAC initiative offers large, sustainable vision of wildfire

Wildfire Watch column
According to Molly Mowery in her latest NFPA Journal® Wildfire Watch column, belt-tightening budget cuts, record-breaking droughts, and expanding suburban development will put significant strain on WUI communities unless we do something to change current trends. Fortunately, she says, national agencies are taking serious action to correct this course, including focusing on creating fire adapted communities.

Read Molly’s latest column and learn how a Fire Adapted Communities approach is part of a long-term solution for 21st century WUI communities.
