In the American West, wildfire risk to life and property is accelerating as a result of development trends favoring the region’s Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI). Moreover, extended droughts, unseasonably warm temperatures, and other climate-induced impacts are influencing the frequency and size of wildfires. In response, a number of cities in the West who have been repeatedly threatened by wildfires, are reducing wildfire risk through unique land use planning strategies. In identifying the most effective land use planning measures, we profiled five urban areas across the region, including Austin (Texas), Boulder (Colorado), Flagstaff (Arizona), San Diego (California), and Santa Fe (New Mexico). Examples of the most compelling land use planning tools will be summarized in this webinar and provide an opportunity for others to learn how urban areas in the West are increasingly becoming wildfire-adapted communities.
