WUI case-study research project

The WUI research program aims to streamline and standardize WUI research processes, focusing on better understanding the factors that lead to ignition and the loss of homes and other structures.

The research conducted during the wildfire season aims to deliver:

• A better understanding of the factors leading to ignition and loss of homes and other structures.
• A framework for post-fire examinations.
• An improved foundation for enhanced FireSmart guidelines and FireSmart communications with the public.
• Better informed policy, legislation and development initiatives regarding FireSmart.
• A stronger foundation for future wildfire resiliency initiatives.
