Risk externalities and the problem of wildfire risk
Journal of Urban Economics, 2008Abstract Homeowners living in the wildland–urban interface must decide whether or not to create a defensible space around their house in order to mitigate the risk of a wildfire destroying their home. Risk externalities complicate this decision; the risk that one homeowner faces depends on the risk mitigation decisions of neighboring homeowners. This

Wildfire Communication and Climate Risk Mitigation
2017Throughout the late 19th century and most of the 20th century, risks associated with wildfire were addressed by suppressing fires as quickly as possible. However, by the 1960s, it became clear that fire exclusion policies were having adverse effects on ecological health, as well as contributing to larger and more damaging wildfires over time.

Risk assessment and management of wildfires
2013Background Introduction: Wildfires are dramatic and can be highly destructive, yet palaeoenvironmental records show that fire has been a part of the earth’s natural environment for hundreds of millions of years (Bowman et al., 2009). Some ecological systems in drought-prone climates have adapted to frequent wildfires.

Fusion of wildfire risk index and automatic video based wildfire surveillance systems
2015Determining the probability of fire occurrence and fire spread at certain area and time could be useful for all fire-fighting activities. A numerical measure used to describe this probability is usually referred to as a wildfire risk index, and as such is traditionally used to enhance human vigilance to wildfires in the pre-fire phase. Higher values of
