This Wildfire Panel event will feature a distinguished panel of experts sharing their insights on climate modeling, wildfire science, and the current best practices in wildfire management. This event aims to highlight wildfire management discussions for military and civilian communities with the knowledge to mitigate wildfire risks and enhance preparedness.

The first section on Climate Modeling, presented by Dr./LCDR Kellen Jones, will emphasize the essential role of climate modeling in understanding and mitigating wildfire threats. Dr./LCDR Jones will delve into recent research from "Wildfire-Favorable Offshore Wind Events in California: Global-Scale Climate Teleconnections to Extreme Weather and Potential Subseasonal to Seasonal Predictability," demonstrating how these findings are refining wildfire risk models and enhancing predictive accuracy on subseasonal to seasonal timescales. The second section on Wildfire Science will feature Dr. Susan Prichard, who will draw from her extensive expertise in fire ecology, landscape vegetation, fire dynamics, and fire and fuels management to provide a thorough understanding of wildfire behavior and mitigation strategies. The final section will showcase three panelists - Honorable Ron Goode, Dr. Daniel Eisenberg, and Dr. Rebecca Miller on Current Best Practices for wildfire management. It will focus on the latest effective strategies in wildfire management, highlighting Indigenous and community-based resilience strategies, the resilience of critical infrastructure inside and outside the fenceline, and specific wildfire management practices in California.
