| Abstract: |
The user of this guide will be able to plan and implement a strategy to encourage people who live in wildland-urban interface settlements to create neighborhood-scale fire-adapted landscapes and FIREWISE communities. It describes how new ideas are communicated among the members of social systems and how to take advantage of the process to promote faster adoption by more people of vegetation management, landscape design, and building practices that will reduce the wildfire threat to human safety, property, and living environments. Users will learn how to size up a community and identify the key people to work with to get a FIREWISE project started. |
