Nevada Fire Risk Assessments, Statewide Summary Report Nevada BLM

WFA just completed a three year project that included the development of fire risk assessment plans for 16 counties in Nevada and a statewide summary report. Our project was conducted at the landscape-level and provided a seamless analysis of hazard fuels, values at risk and assessments of wildfire threat to these values. Professionals from WFA led public meetings, and worked with state office and field-level BLM employees, officials from county governments, federal land managers from agencies other than BLM, state fire officials, local residents and fire departments, as well as FIRESAFE leaders to develop the final products. The BLM and local governments will use the information to prioritize treatment areas, and then plan and implement hazard fuel reduction projects.
