You’re invited to this virtual webinar on Monday, January 13, 2025, from 1:00-2:30 p.m. MT to learn about ongoing efforts focused on aligning land management and public health goals related to prescribed fire. Partners in California, Oregon, and Georgia organized locally to increase dialogue and work to improve smoke communication surrounding prescribed fire.
The purpose of the prescribed fire exercises was to discuss existing burn plans, policies, and procedures to identify potential pathways to increased burning while also protecting public health from smoke. These exercises also facilitated mutual understanding and relationship building between the participants. They improved broader understanding of relevant regulations, terminology, and plans, while the subsequent discussions helped to identify strengths and areas of improvement for coordination within and across organizations and agencies. In this webinar, participants from each location will share about the goals, considerations, actions, and lessons learned to help future communities to include public health considerations into their prescribed fire efforts.
