California Fire Science Consortium Activity Overview and Outreach/Collaboration Potential Tim Kline, CFSC Coordinator May 3 rd, 2012

Membership breakdown Organizations represented (data from March 2012) Number of people USDA Forest Service (USFS)687 USDI National Park Service (NPS)70 USDI Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA)5 USDI Bureau of Land Management (BLM)50 USDI Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)45 Universities53 State agencies (CALFIRE, ARB, Energy Commission, Water Boards, regional commissions) 70 Non-governmental organizations (NGOs)41 Landowners98 Unknown36 Total1022

Deliverables: In-person outreach 2011 Strategy: Establish CFSC presence and identity through participation in existing groups, events Outreach Talks/Poster presentations about CFSC – Examples: Regional Fire Safe Council Meetings (multiple) Northern CA Rx Fire Council Workshops and Conferences – Ex: Southern Sierra Prescribed Fire and Smoke Symposium Included AQ Regulators, Federal and state forest managers, scientists, tribes. Didn’t include public – this has been a missing link!

Regional advisory groups Development of local steering committees – Agency managers, NGOs, regulators, community stakeholders – Guide regional efforts – Sierra Nevada and Central/Southern CA/Northern CA Teams Developed own groups – Desert and Northern CA Teams Built on relationships with existing groups NorCal Rx Fire Council, CA Desert Managers Group

Deliverables: Written / Web work Monthly newsletter – Maintains engagement with base, provides means to publicize new CFSC resources and events Blog – For sharing and highlighting CFSC and third-party fire resources Research briefs – Highlight the management implications of fire science research – 28 released since March 2011 Bibliographies for resource managers – Intended to identify pertinent scientific articles – Organized by region and subject Research Syntheses – A more in-depth analysis of existing research regarding a particular topic – One released so far: “Balancing the Carbon Costs and Benefits of Fuels Management” – Potential for a synthesis of western smoke science?

Deliverables: Webinars Engage a large and diverse group of our participants – Facilitates interaction (albeit limited) with presenters Free, easily accessible for participants Simple to set up and plan – Fall 2011 Series – Spring 2012 Series – Ongoing WUI Series Recordings hosted on CFSC website – 15 recorded to date

Information flow to/from CFSC ResearchCFSCLand managers Regulators Public Management decisions (treatment timing, size, restoration goals, etc) Research briefs Webinars Field trips Meetings/symp osia Scientific Articles Data Research sites Complaints Acceptance Burn permits AQ advisories

How to increase the success of outreach and education efforts? Research briefs for the public and the media – 1-2 page briefs on the ecological role of fire, historical prevalence of smoke and fire, etc – Have ready for distribution before a Rx fire or in response to a wildfire event Social media (facebook and twitter) – Common medium for media to pick up stories and for public to get immediate info – CalFire has had success with twitter during events (Daniel Berlant, CalFire PIO)

Importance of collaboration and repetition “One message, many voices” Like politics, if we can repeat an agreed-upon message enough, people will start to listen
