Wildland Urban Interface Wildfire Mitigation Desk Reference Guide - The effects of wildland fire on communities have become more intense, frequent, and far-reaching. Increased development in the wildland urban interface means higher wildfire risk and more suppression needs, costing billions every year. This book is designed to provide basic background information on relevant programs and terminology for those, whether community members or agency personnel, who are seeking to enhance their community's wildfire mitigation efforts. Mitigation happens at all levels - local, state, tribal, and federal. This guide defines terms and identifies resources that are useful in mitigation planning efforts for all lands. The four primary objectives of this reference guide are to: Provide a reference to assist with integrating wildland urban interface mitigation principles into national wildland fire training; Promote common wildfire mitigation language and culture; Establish an authoritative source for wildland urban interface mitigation information; and Provide consistent definitions for use by all media.
