Tactics

Model which places are susceptible to high smoke, and get that message out to developers, tourists, etc.
Inform people in advance of and during burn events—more effectively (both for prescribed burns and wildfire); improve understanding for prescribed burn necessity. Improve messaging regarding natural fire cycles.
Minimize impacts to tourism.

Sensitivity

• Air quality threatened by increased fire severity/ frequency/ etc. may adversely affect health/ tourism and opportunity to get out.

Strategy

Reduce climate-related risks to the public
