| Abstract: |
The Georgia Forestry Commission (GFC) has designed a new mobile classroom focusing on homeowner education for fire prevention in wildland-urban interface areas. A new concept for Georgia, the Wildland-Urban Interface Mobile Classroom is eventually expected to travel statewide to counteract wildfire threats posed by the increase of wildland-urban interface areas statewide. Specifically designed for adult education the mobile unit was federally funded by a grant obtained through the National Fire Plan (Wildland-Urban Interface funding). The concept and the mobile education classroom address needs stemming from the escalating number of families losing their homes to wildfires. |
