Living With Wildfire: Community Solutions NEW!

This course explores how communities — not just individuals — can reduce wildfire risk and build resilience. Using the newly adopted Ashland Community Wildfire Protection Plan as a framework, students will engage in “local wildfire conversations” that combine education with participation. Topics include launching a local community-based partnership, reducing residential risk (with emphasis on renters and socially vulnerable households), responding to the insurance crisis, developing a wildfire-smart workforce and planning proactively for disaster recovery. By examining these initiatives, students will learn how inclusive, community-driven action can transform their community from a wildfire fuel source into a fuel break.
