The Ashland wildland/urban interface: wildfire management inventory, analysis, and opportunities
OR Z/AS .2W54x ; 137 ; Includes ill. (some col.) and maps (some col.).; Includes bibliographical references. ; The Ashland Wildland/Urban Interface, described by the acronym AWUI in this report, is an area at considerable risk of destruction from, and contribution to, large scale, high severity, catastrophic wildfire. The likelihood of significant loss of lives, property, and resource values clearly suggests that proactive strategies designed to minimize the likelihood, size, intensity, and duration of wildfire are of critical importance on individual, community, regional, and national scales. This report provides an inventory of current vegetational conditions/communities within the AWUI, a key determinant of wildfire behavior. A range of proactive management strategies designed to manipulate vegetation to more favorable conditions from a wildfire management perspective are described, based on existing landscape unit categories developed in the inventory. Management effects on other resources are described. Initial analyses of overall condition of the AWUI is discussed, including descriptions of individual management priorities to improve potentials for minimizing wildfire effects, as well as potential tactical opportunities delineated for use in a wildfire event" P. 1 [6].
