Explore these resources to help you prepare for a safe wildland fire response and to create and sustain a fire-adapted community. Fire departments across the country are increasingly being …

5 天之前 · Learn what the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) is, how it works, why it’s prone to wildfires, and how communities can reduce risks, from the team at WFCA.

The Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Fire Institute is a mission driven organization that seeks solutions to the Wildland Urban Interface fire problem through innovative research, training, and education to create safer and more fire resilient communities in California and the West.

2023年8月23日 · The Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Fire Group develops, advances, and deploys measurement science to reduce risk of fire spread in communities

Explore these data resources that will help you to understand the characteristics of wildland urban interface (WUI) fires, identify and assess wildfire risk, and prepare more effectively for …

2025年3月14日 · Globally, the fraction of WUI fire–caused annual premature deaths (APDs) to all fire–caused APDs is about three times of the fraction of WUI fire emissions to all fire emissions. The developed model framework can be applied to address critical needs in understanding and mitigating WUI fires and their impacts.

2024年11月8日 · The wildland-urban interface (WUI) represents the nexus of human-nature interactions, where the risk of exposure to natural hazards such as wildfire is most pronounced. However, quantifying long-term global WUI change and the corresponding driving factors at fine resolution remain challenging.

2023年11月22日 · This area where human settlement mixes with and meets natural landscapes is referred to as the wildland-urban interface (WUI). This expansion poses particular challenges for wildfire management.

Wildfires pose unique hazards, particularly for Wildland-urban Interface (WUI) areas, which require unique tools for awareness, mitigation and community risk reduction. Jump to: | Raise Awareness | Take Action. What is the Wildland-Urban Interface?

2025年3月26日 · This project combines experimental research with advanced computer modeling to improve understanding of how fires spread in the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) and to drive the development of the next generation of physics-based models for predicting WUI fire behavior.
