Heat Wave and Wildfire Co-Disasters
08/05/21
“How do heat waves and wildfires coincide with each other?”
High temperatures often set the stage for a wildfire to occur. This is because hotter foliage is more flammable and liable to such disasters. This is why Heat Wave and Wildfire Co-Disasters are so common.
Cross-Border Wildfires

“What happens when wildfires cross international borders?”
National borders are artificial, and wildfires go through them as such. Cross-Border Wildfires are a very intense issue issues which must be solved with International Wildfire Cooperation.
Why Recycled Water Can Be Useful for Fighting Wildfires
07/24/21
“Why can recycled water be useful for fighting wildfires?”
Fighting wildfires is a very water intensive process that can heavily strain the resources of a governing state. On top of this, using all of those supplies can cause a large strain on the environment. So is it possible to solve both of these problems at once? Well, let’s think about it. We know that water can be recycled for other purposes, saving on both money and waste. So what if we were to use this approach? This is Why Recycled Water Can Be Useful for Fighting Wildfires.
Why Wildfire Reporting is So Important to Wildfire Adaptation
07/08/21
“Why is wildfire reporting so important to wildfire adaptation?”
Wildfires can happen at a moment’s notice and can spread fast. To save their lives, people will need to move away from these areas temporarily and find somewhere to retreat. To make sure that people are well-informed ahead of time, quick and accurate reporting needs to occur. This is Why Wildfire Reporting is So Important to Wildfire Adaptation.
Why Climate-Exacerbated Wildfires Will Destroy Towns
07/01/21
“Why will climate-exacerbated wildfires destroy towns?”
Wildfires are becoming more and more deadly with the advent of climate change. Things have been getting so bad, that entire towns have been destroyed, whether it be Paradise California in 2018 or Lyton British Columbia in 2021. This is Why Climate-Exacerbated Wildfires Will Destroy Towns.

Why It Is Economically Wise to Prepare for the Fire Season Long Before It Starts
05/22/21
“Why is it economically wise to prepare for the wildfire season long before it starts?”
When wildfire season starts, demand for critical supplies such as gas masks and air filters skyrockets while supplies plummet, leading to a momentous price increase. To prevent getting caught in this, it is logical to purchase these supplies well ahead of time. This is Why It Is Economically Wise to Prepare for the Fire Season Long Before It Starts.
Wildfire Economic Resilience
05/13/21
“How can we build economic resilience to wildfires?”
Wildfires are becoming an even more serious threat in Mediterranean climates. This will pose serious threats to their nature-based economies, whether it be wineries in California or tourism sites in Portugal. To prevent unnecessary economic damage, we will need to invest in Wildfire Economic Resilience and modify our structures around the issue. Examples include using fire-adapted shrubbery or learning controlled-burning techniques from indigenous people.
How Wildfires Will Delay Plane Flights
05/10/21
“How will wildfires lead to flight delays?”
Climate change will lead to more wildfires. This will cause smoke and burning that will lead to plane flight delays. This is How Wildfires Will Delay Plane Flights.
Year-Round Wildfire Seasons
05/07/21
“Why will there be year-round wildfire seasons for Mediterranean climates in the future?”
Climate change is causing rainfall levels to decline and average temperatures to escalate in Mediterranean climatic zones, thereby expanding the wildfire season. However, this might be exacerbated so much that the wildfire season may never end, and instead any time of the year will be ripe for wildfires. Year-Round Wildfire Seasons are coming and will soon be a part of life for many Mediterranean areas.
