Policy Making Under Uncertainty: Deciding Where to Implement Fire Mitigation Strategies
The State of California uses hazard maps to determine where defensible space regulation apply, whereas the insurance industry uses risk mapping to set policies. What are the implications for the use of these different methodologies? This webinar convenes academic, agency, and industry experts to discuss where we need to target fire mitigation interventions.
Featuring:
– Kelly Hereid, Head of Catastrophe R&D for Liberty Mutual Insurance
– Ertugrul Taciroglu, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering
– Dave Sapsis, Research Manager for CAL FIRE’s Fire and Resource Assessment Program (FRAP)
– Shea Broussard, CEO of FlameMapper
Moderated by Alex Hall, Faculty Director of the UCLA Sustainable LA Grand Challenge (SLAGC) and Director of the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability.
Register today for the second in a series of webinars organized by SLAGC that deal with how we can develop policies that help us live with future fire.
