dc.description.abstract | Large wildfires disrupt the lives of families, workers, and employers. However, fire suppression and recovery efforts may provide economic opportunities. Unlike with other natural hazards, there has been little research about how wildfires affect local economies. The purpose of this Joint Fire Science Program-funded project was to analyze the effects of large wildfires on labor markets and examine how fire suppression spending may mediate these effects. | en_US |
