Communicating the wildland fire message : an investigation of agency outreach strategies

Creator:: Toman, Eric Lee
Abstract:: Wildfire impacts have increased in recent years. The management response outlined by recent policy initiatives (e.g., the National Fire Plan, Healthy Forests Restoration Act) emphasizes the use of prescribed fire and mechanized thinning to reduce the risk of future fire events. These policies also call for an unprecedented level of...

Citizen perspectives on hazardous fuel reduction in the Blue Mountains : findings and implications from panel research

Creator:: Toman, Eric Lee
Abstract:: Forests in the Blue Mountains region of eastern Oregon and Washington are facing a large-scale forest health crisis. Poor forest conditions have greatly increased the risk of catastrophic wildfire. Resource managers in the Wallowa-Whitman, Umatilla, and Malheur National Forests are utilizing prescribed fire and mechanized thinning treatments to reduce hazardous...

Forest road hydrology : the influence of forest roads on stream flow at stream crossings

Creator:: Toman, Elizabeth Myers
Abstract:: The management of existing forest road systems is an issue of growing importance and public debate. Roads can alter the hydrologic processes in a watershed especially at stream crossing culverts where road ditches channel runoff directly into the stream. The objective of this study was to determine how surface runoff...

Reducing sediment production from forest roads during wet-weather use

Creator:: Toman, Elizabeth Myers
Abstract:: Forest roads produce fine sediment with traffic during wet weather. If the forest road is connected to a stream it can be a source of turbidity and fine sediment that may be detrimental to aquatic organisms especially salmonids. The goal of this work was to investigate turbid runoff during wet-weather...

Social science at the wildland-urban interface: 2000-2010 Annotated Bibliography

Creator:: Toman, Eric, Stidham, Melanie, McCaffrey, Sarah, and Shindler, Bruce
Abstract:: As part of a larger project funded by the Joint Fire Science Program, this annotated bibliography and accompanying subject area guide were created to support development of a compendium of social science research findings from 2000 – 2010 related to fire-adapted communities. In total, 242 articles were selected for analysis.

Public Acceptance of Wildland Fire and Fuel Management: Panel Responses in Seven Locations

Creator:: Toman, Eric, Shindler, Bruce, McCaffrey, Sarah, and Bennett, James
Abstract:: Wildland fire affects both public and private resources throughout the United States. A century of fire suppression has contributed to changing ecological conditions and accumulated fuel loads. Managers have used a variety of approaches to address these conditions and reduce the likelihood of wildland fires that may result in adverse...

Social science research related to wildfire management: an overview of recent findings and future research needs

Creator:: McCaffrey, Sarah, Toman, Eric, Stidham, Melanie, and Shindler, Bruce
Abstract:: As with other aspects of natural-resource management, the approach to managing wildland fires has evolved over time as scientific understanding has advanced and the broader context surrounding management decisions has changed. Prior to 2000 the primary focus of most fire research was on the physical and ecological aspects of fire;...

Policy tools to encourage community-level defensible space in the United States: A tale of six communities

Creator:: Stidham, Melanie, McCaffrey, Sarah, Toman, Eric, and Shindler, Bruce
Abstract:: Within the wildland-urban interface (WUI), wildfire risk contains both individual and collective components. The likelihood that a particular home will be threatened by wildfire in any given year is low, but at a broader scale the likelihood that a home somewhere in the WUI will be threatened is substantially higher....

Collaborating for Healthy Forests and Communities: A Guide for Building Partnerships Among Diverse Interests

Creator:: Shindler, Bruce, Gordon, Ryan, McCaffrey, Sarah, and Toman, Eric
Abstract:: There are many reasons for building an alliance among agencies and citizens in forest and rangeland communities. In the big picture, the purpose is primarily to reach decisions that are objectively better. Essentially, the quality of decisions is improved by a multi-agency effort that includes a role for citizens and...

Longitudinal Social Science Research in Natural Resource Communities: Lessons and Considerations

Creator:: Stidham, Melanie, Olsen, Christine, Toman, Eric, Frederick, Stacey, McCaffrey, Sarah, and Shindler, Bruce
Abstract:: The majority of social science research is cross-sectional in nature, with data collected at a single point in time. However, social systems are dynamic and many of the variables of interest to social scientists may change over time. Longitudinal research methods enable data collection at two or more points in...
