Fire hazard conditions can change rapidly and fire managers have access to many sources of data to help them make decisions. This information, however, often resides in multiple, non-compatible databases, models, applications, and websites. To help make it easier, Matt Jolly partnered with Technosylva to create the WildfireSAFE app – a web-based, mobile solution that integrates real-time data from multiple data sources into a single, user-friendly platform.

Great Basin watersheds are home to many unique riparian and meadow ecosystems. The vegetation and processes of these ecosystems vary wildly, challenging managers to determine appropriate management strategies after disturbances. A recently developed rapid assessment protocol offers a guide, which was discussed in a two part webinar series, “Using an understanding of Stream and Riparian Geomorphic Sensitivity and Ecological Resilience to Guide Management.”
