To address the growing severity of the situation, a multi-state fire prevention strategy was coordinated by an inter-agency Fire Prevention Education Team (FPET). Working with state and local partners, FPETs reduce unwanted human-generated fires through various activities such as risk assessments, community awareness and education, coordination between the public and organizations\/ agencies, and much more. Using multiple media outlets, 32 FPET personnel reached an estimated 6.68 million people, saving potentially $11 million in damages and suppression costs. This hour long webinar will describe the unique methods employed to reach six of the states affected by the fires, including consistent messaging, a multi-media campaign, coordination, attracting participation by musicians like Dolly Parton, and the many lessons learned.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You can find more info and sign up at the Forestry Webinar Portal at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forestrywebinars.net\/webinars\/fire-prevention-lessons-learned-2016\">https:\/\/www.forestrywebinars.net\/webinars\/fire-prevention-lessons-learned-2016<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10753\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10753\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2017\/04\/dobson-knob-nc-fire-4-13-2017.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10753\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2017\/04\/dobson-knob-nc-fire-4-13-2017-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2017\/04\/dobson-knob-nc-fire-4-13-2017-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2017\/04\/dobson-knob-nc-fire-4-13-2017-208x138.jpg 208w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2017\/04\/dobson-knob-nc-fire-4-13-2017.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10753\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">U.S. Forest Service &#8211; National Forests in North Carolina\/Facebook<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a notice about a webinar that looks very interesting.\u00a0 I am posting it because I would like to see it myself.
