Wildfire Risk Mitigation
RESILIENT + INTEGRATED WILDLAND FIRE SOLUTIONS
Development and recreation within our natural environments are contributing to an increased 风险 of wildfire and its negative impacts to life and property. When combined with increasingly dynamic climate cycles, our natural world and communities remain at 风险 without informed preparation. Our team of 500+ diverse specialists are committed to supporting the resiliency of people, 属性, 资产, and operations through an increasingly complex range of hazards, 风险, and vulnerabilities due to wildland fires.
WILDFIRE HAZARD, RISK + VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENTS
Our wildfire 风险 mitigation and resilience experts support preparedness, 规划, 响应 and recovery strategies, incorporating the latest research in wildfire science, climate change, disaster management and fire engineering. 皇家88娱乐的风险, 风险, and vulnerability assessments account for spatial and non-spatial physical, 社会, 经济, and ecological factors. This approach provides our clients with a holistic understanding to support decision-making, adaptive solutions and long-term resiliency at parcel, neighborhood, 企业, 县, and regional scales.
WILDFIRE MITIGATION PLANS
Our team not only shapes and supports the development of core regulations for wildfire safety, but we also develop custom Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) strategies, Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPP) and private, business and utility protection plans to support the preservation of land investments, economies and communities. We go beyond vegetation management and property protection to encompass prevention, preparedness, 响应, and recovery by collaborating with federal, 状态, 部落, and local jurisdictions, law and emergency 响应 agencies, fire-safe councils, community groups, 林业工作者, land resource managers and the general public.
WILDFIRE EVACUATION PLANNING + ANALYSIS
In 响应 to the increasing scale, 严重程度, and frequency of wildfire events and the impacts on life safety and critical infrastructure, our team partners with transportation 规划 experts, evacuation researchers and 社会 scientists to develop an integrated approach to assessments and wildfire evacuation 规划. We work with fire, 警察, emergency services and community organizations to understand vulnerabilities and capacities in the event of a wildfire and effectively communicate with, safely refuge or evacuate residents, 游客, and members of the public.
WILDFIRE RESEARCH, TESTING + EVALUATION
Understanding the complex nature of wildfires and their impact on the built environment, 资源, and people requires strong links to academic institutions, monitoring of the latest wildfire science, and foundational research and testing with local and national partners. Our commitment to these relationships and the culminating research evolves with the changing climate, human development patterns and complicated interactions of the human-environment systems and needs.
WILDFIRE POST-FIRE INVESTIGATIONS
Our forensics and wildfire teams provide support investigating wildfire incidents for the insurance industry, government agencies, and other private entities. We provided investigation and analysis for many of the nation’s largest wildfires, including the Woolsey Fire, Thomas Fire and Camp Fire in California, the Bastrop Complex Fire, the Corsicana Fire, the Twisp Wildfire in Washington and the Saint Mary’s Mission fire. Our experts’ depth of knowledge is based on applicable experience navigating the nuances of wildfire investigation, litigation and other post-fire evaluations.
