Decisions Before the Flames: How Communities Shape Wildfire Outcomes

By CLIMAtlantic

Municipal Learning Series

Join Kara McCurdy, wildfire mitigation specialist, fire service professional, and community resilience advocate, to explore how wildfire outcomes are shaped long before a fire starts, through municipal decisions around land use, development, access, water supply, public education, emergency planning, and community risk reduction.

Learn how to:

• Translate wildfire risk into municipal priorities, budget choices, prevention actions, and readiness planning.
• Understand where your community may be vulnerable, what questions to ask, and how leadership decisions can reduce future wildfire impacts.

This project is carried out with funding from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ Green Municipal Fund and the Government of Canada.
