Wildfires are becoming longer, more destructive, and closer to home. In Montana, over 90% of residents now live in counties at high risk for wildfires. This escalating threat affects not only fire management, but also housing, insurance, public health, and community resilience.

Panelists:

• Kimiko Barrett, Headwaters Economics: National wildfire policy & resilience

• Greg Dillon, USFS Rocky Mountain Research Station, Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory: risk mapping, data, and planning

• Adriane Beck, Missoula County Emergency Management: Local response & preparedness
