NoCo Fireshed Risk Assessment for Practitioners

On Feb 8, 9-11am, the Colorado Forest Restoration Institute (CFRI) will hold a webinar on the recently completed Northern Colorado Fireshed Wildfire Risk Assessment in coordination with the Coalition for the Poudre River Watershed and the Northern Colorado Fireshed Collaborative. This risk assessment was developed by CFRI in collaboration with dozens of stakeholder groups spanning the Northern Front Range. The primary objectives of the risk assessment were to support cross-boundary wildfire risk management planning, focus area identification, grant development, and treatment outcomes monitoring. In this webinar, we hope to aid potential user groups in applying the risk assessment to their own program of work and to spur enhanced cross-boundary collaboration.

Specifically, this webinar aims to: 1) Provide a brief overview of the risk assessment model and the collaborative process used to identify values and resources at risk, rank landscape priorities, and estimate resource responses to wildfire; 2) Review the numerous data outputs of the wildfire risk model so that stakeholders are comfortable working with the products in their own quantitative analyses; 3) Present case studies and specific suggestions for data uses; 4) Initiate a collaborative discussion to foster coordinated planning, data sharing, and lessons learned
