This is a step-by-step guide to conducting a prescribed burn from start to finish, with habitat management as the primary goal. It also offers specific technical guidelines.

This guide provides step-by-step instructions to assist communities in implementing nature-based solutions and is especially useful for Community Planning and Development Fund recipients.

This toolkit is a guide that helps recipients of HUD Community Planning and Development (CPD) funds identify opportunities to use their CPD dollars to mitigate the impacts of natural related hazards. The toolkit is divided into 6 separate sections, each related to a specific natural hazard. Each section provides an overview of the natural hazard as well as suggestions for different mitigation techniques that are eligible under different CPD programs. Additionally, the toolkit has a financing section with other funding opportunities for resilience projects.

The National Mitigation Investment Strategy is a single national strategy for advancing mitigation investment to reduce risks posed by and increase the nation’s resilience to natural hazards, such as sea level rise, droughts, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and earthquakes. This portfolio showcases mitigation projects to provide practitioners with examples of activities that integrate the Investment Strategy’s goals and reflect the guiding principles of the Disaster Recovery Reform Act of 2018 (DRRA).

The purpose of this document is to provide a resource that communities can use to identify and evaluate a range of potential mitigation actions for reducing risk to natural hazards and disasters. The focus of this document is mitigation, which is action taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to hazards. The document discusses 16 natural hazards, and describes mitigation strategies across several different aspects of mitigation within them. These include regulations requirements through FEMA, education prorgams, and natural systems protection (NBS) ideas. 

This monitoring protocol includes an optional implementation data sheet to track project implementation, landowner satisfaction, and landowner compliance for offices with no standardized implementation monitoring protocol, an effectiveness assessment data sheet to assess progress toward meeting the specific biological and/or physical objectives established for a project, and guidance and data sheets for collecting and documenting digital images to substantiate assessments of project success. 

This page links ot the social vulnerability layer of the national risk index map. As a consequence enhancing risk component of the National Risk Index, a Social Vulnerability score and rating represent the relative level of a community’s social vulnerability compared to all other communities at the same level. A community’s Social Vulnerability score measures its national rank or percentile. A higher Social Vulnerability score results in a higher Risk Index score.

This website contains training programs to prepare fire managers from different government agencies to conduct safe and effective prescribed burns.
