The threat of wildfires has exploded across the United States in recent years due to reduced precipitation in some regions, higher temperatures caused by climate change, and increased development along wildland-urban interfaces. In the face of this growing threat to institutional and commercial facilities and surrounding communities, the need for resilience has never been greater, and facility managers are critical members of the in-house teams seeking to improve the resilience of facilities and organizations.
In this series of video interviews, key players in this effort talk about the threat wildfires pose to facilities. The three videos explore wildfire threats facing facilities, and the steps managers can take to help their facilities prevent, respond to, and recover from wildfires.
