"We leveraged a fire severity metric that integrates fire intensity and tree susceptibility. We demonstrated how industrial forest management increases these aspects of fire risk," said Harold Zald, lead author and a former post-doctoral scientist at Oregon State. Zald, who is now an assistant p...
Nationwide, about one in seven homes could be at "major" fire risk in the next 30 years, according to climate non-profit, First Street Foundation. That means they are forecast to have at least a 6%-14% chance of being directly damaged by wildfire at least once over the next 30 years....
