CNRA Hosts “Reflecting on a Decade in the New Megafire Era: Lessons Learned, Progress and a Path Forward”

August 23rd, 2023 @ 12:00pm - 1:00pm

Register for Managing Megafires – Reflecting on a Decade in the New Megafire Era.

The 2013 Rim Fire burned through the Sierra Nevada becoming the second largest wildfire in California’s recorded history at the time. Now, a decade later, it ranks as just the 11th largest wildfire on record. The Rim Fire initiated an era of “megafires” sweeping across California’s landscape. Since then, leaders across our state have improved understanding of the complexities of wildfire management and the urgency to increase pace and scale of our efforts.

 

As megafires rage this summer from Canada to Greece, join us for a candid talk with experts about how catastrophic wildfires have shifted and intensified our wildfire strategies and what is needed moving forward.
