2024 CO-LABS Pathfinding Partnerships Award - Governor's Awards for High Impacts Research

The Wildfire Research (WiRē) works side-by-side with local wildfire education practitioners to develop evidence-based community wildfire education programs. The WiRē process pairs social data from residents living in the wildland urban interface with parcel level wildfire risk data. Project are driven by a need and invitation that comes from the community partners and builds on over 30 years of world-class fire science at CO-LABS partner the Rocky Mountain Research Station of the U.S. Forest Service in Ft. Collins, Colorado. In addition to the longstanding experience with the physical risks of fire, the program is using cutting edge social science and community engagement to provide tailored information to suit the needs of different audiences.
