**SFE Webinar: Wildfire and risk management in changing Southeastern landscapes: a regional perspective**

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A free one-hour webinar from the USDA Forest Service, Southern Region Strategy Committee of the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy, the Southern Fire Exchange, and the University of Florida IFAS.

Webinar Description:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Southern Region Fire Adaptation project aims to help strategic planning for fire risk management across the southern US. We conducted a comprehensive assessment of wildfire risk considering current conditions and future changes in climate and forests. This assessment helps identify areas where managing fuels can reduce risks and enhance resilience. We've created various spatial data products showing where wildfire and smoke risks are highest and where tools like prescribed fire can be most effective. An online StoryMap collection serves as a guide to these data products.
