The fire economics research team is a leader in the development and application of tools to understand the economic implication of wildfire management and wildfire risk assessment. The expected impact of the team’s research includes enhanced firefighter and public safety, reduced large fire costs, improved adoption of risk management principles, and improved design and deployment of decision support tools to inform fire and fuels management planning.
