The Social Science Team is synthesizing research that answers five key questions that might be helpful when planning or implementing fuels treatment projects: 1) what information and tools are available to help land managers and communities collaborate in the development of fuel treatment programs; 2) what information and tools are available to help public land managers communicate the risk and uncertainty of fuels treatment projects; 3) what information and tools are available to evaluate the social acceptability of fuels treatments; 4) what information and tools are available to encourage more active involvement of private property owners in fuels management; and 5) what information and tools are available to help understand and evaluate the social impacts of wildland fire?
