As a fellow wildfire researcher (UMD alum). I applaud you holding this AMA. I have been actively trying to create an impact in this space outside of researching. As someone who has seen both the field and acdemic side of things, do you have any recommendations?

I know The Fire Protection Research Foundation (FPRF) was looking into this topic in hopes to publish work to for the community.

Firewise USA - NFPA is a great starting point.

Lots of fire protection companies try to help out as well especially if they have someone with wildfire knowledge. Eg; TERPconsulting, Reax engineering in the West coast.

There are plenty of articles that the fire community prepares for the everyday person to help minimise their risk.

Examples from a quick search:

Alternatively, I would recommend going through Firewise USA - NFPA community. Some great work being done there.
