Public Safety Power Shutoff events are being implemented in California to reduce wildfire impacts. We surveyed residents identify their information needs and understand the potential role of University Cooperative Extension (UCCE) power shutoff management. A majority respondents need on alternative sources community systems. Most indicated family, friends, neighbors as important group manage shutoff. UCCE was least used preferred source for information. Our findings reveal a play an...
In 2009, the federal Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) initiated a national network of boundary organizations, known as regional fire science consortia, to accelerate awareness, understanding, and use wildland science. Needs assessments conducted by consortia in eight regions United States are synthesized here using case survey approach. Although used different methods based on their ecosystems, geography, demography, results showed striking similarities how is accessed used, barriers its...
Wildfire is a natural part of forested Mediterranean systems. As humans continue to live and build housing in these areas, wildfire constant threat homes lives. The goal this paper describe aspects land-use planning that are used reduce risk institutionally divergent regions; southern France California. By reviewing relevant legislation documents conducting person interviews with fire professionals, we identify the institutions which participate land use key laws regulations guide decisions....
The weather last fall was unusually favorable for private landowners to carry out prescribed burns reduce wildfire hazard. Burn permits, however, made burning unnecessarily difficult. Safe and effective can benefit from changes in permitting.
Abstract Background Globally, prescribed fire political interest and practice has been rekindled following recent devastating wildfire seasons. This phenomenon was especially acute in areas with dual forest health crises, like California. Previous research investigated on public lands or private other regions, but little is known about Therefore, we sought to understand land managers’ perceptions of compared management techniques, treatment pathways, motivations, barriers complete these...
We interviewed 27 nonindustrial forest landowners whose properties burned in a wildfire California's central Sierra Nevada 2014 about postfire reforestation and local government-assisted programs. All wanted to reforest, but third would not have without the free program offered by Resource Conservation District. The rest tried do work themselves or pursued other programs despite complicated logistics high upfront costs. Many experienced distress, "solastalgia," at loss of "put back way it...
Low doses of dopamine D 1 agonists improve working memory-related behavior, but high eliminate the improvement, thus yielding an ‘inverted-U’ dose-response curve. This dose-dependency also occurs at single neuron level in prefrontal cortex where cellular basis memory is represented. Because signaling mechanisms are unclear, we examined this process population level. Two (2-methyldihydrexidine and CY208,243) having different bias were tested rats performing a spatial T-maze task....
Disasters are deeply affecting communities and economies in the United States, role of Cooperative Extension disaster management efforts continues to grow. We surveyed University California personnel identify existing programs future needs. found that about one third our respondents had been involved preparing for, responding to, or helping recover from disasters. Respondents experienced having a variety needs related preparedness response systems, procedures, materials equipment,...

Increasingly large high-severity wildfires in dry forests of the western United States have led to concern about how best regenerate new after wildfires. Harvesting fire-killed trees, burning woody debris, and tree planting are commonly used reforestation strategies. This study evaluated effects a novel forest restoration approach that involved masticating un-merchantable dead trees spreading debris generated across site prevent erosion from 2007 Angora Fire Lake Tahoe, California. Woody...
The 2004 Sierra Nevada Forest Plan Amendment adopted by the U.S. Service called for using adaptive management — through deliberate experimentation to carry out treatments improve forest health and reduce fire severity. Adaptive Management Project (SNAMP), begun in 2005 ending this year, has developed, implemented evaluated participatory processes two national forests applying fuels based on strategically placed patterns of tree thinning. SNAMP participants include federal state agencies,...
