| Abstract: |
On May 15 and 16, 2001, the Western Rural Development Center convened a workshop in Salt Lake City, Utah, addressing community-level programs to deal with wildfire risks in the western United States. The objective was to create a practitioner-to-practitioner information sharing opportunity. By showcasing a range of programs from throughout the West, the goal was that innovations benefit the entire region, not merely the specific locale in which they arise. The Alaskans can learn from the Nevadans, who in turn learn from the Montanans, who in turn find ideas they like in the Alaskans� efforts. The conference was attended by about 170 people, the great majority of whom live in the West. |
