This project worked with the U.S. Forest Service to develop resources on available methods to assess potential risks associated with post-fire events. The site is intended for managers, landowners, and communities to find guidance for assessing and preventing potential damage from post-fire flooding and related events. Includes research, methods, and tools available for measuring and reducing risks associated with post-fire flooding, debris flows, and sedimentation.
Partners: U.S. Forest Service
