[OLD PODCAST EPISODE] Molly Mowery, AICP and Guest/Host Will Smith join Pints With Planners to discuss “Planning for Wildfire”. With changing climate dynamics and the expansion of the built environment into natural wildfire areas, community development practitioners are required to understand wildfire planning and hazard mitigation. This discussion wanders from what defines the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) to exciting new partnership programs bringing wildfire planning directly to communities, providing lessons from practicing experts for tomorrow’s planners. Tune in for this timely episode from PWP!

You can also find more information on Molly and Community Planning Assistance for Wildfire (CPAW) program here. The American Planning Association also has several  hazard mitigation resources available on the Hazard Mitigation and Disaster Recovery Planning Division website. Go here to check it out.
