Northern Arizona is no stranger to severe wildfires, join guest speakers Carly Phillips and Tim Carter, as they discuss the climate and Covid impacts threatening this years fire season. There will be an opportunity for Q&A following the presentation.
Although land and fire management has exacerbated wildfires, climate change has heightened the trend of larger fires. As the planet warms, the region continues to see climate change trends of rising temperatures, below average snowpack, drought, and increased grass crops from spring and winter rains acting as a fuel for wildfire.
Unlike previous years, the collision of COVID-19 with the wildfire season has left us unable to prepare and made emergency management and fire-fighting practices riskier.
