In this Fueling Collaboration panel discussion, we’ll dive into the complex relationship between hurricanes and wildland fire. Join scientists, land managers, and fire practitioners as they share insights on how storm events affect prescribed fire planning, post-storm fire behavior, and ecosystems. We’ll explore case studies from the coastal and southern Appalachians, and discuss strategies for adapting fire management in a dynamic region.

Hurricanes and tropical systems are powerful forces that continue to shape the landscape of the U.S. While much attention has been given to the immediate post-storm impacts, the influence of these large-scale weather events on prescribed fire and wildfire management remains underexplored. From altering fuel loads and fuel arrangement, to reshaping access and burn windows, tropical systems introduce both short-term and long-term challenges to regional fire managers.
