Wildfire Resiliency and Preparedness – Experience That Makes a Difference
At Strategic, we are dedicated to proactively building forest resilience and safeguarding the communities of Canada from the threat of wildfires. Our team of experienced Forest Professionals has demonstrated experience in working with local emergency response agencies, collaborating with municipal staff and First Nations leaders, facilitating engagement with the public and project interest groups, and developing professional quality project reports. Strategic brings a wealth of combined expertise in developing Community Wildfire Resiliency Plans and Fuel Management Prescriptions across British Columbia through contracts with the Province of BC, First Nations, industry organizations, and municipal governments.
These contracts have equipped Strategic with practical and technical expertise and demonstrate our competency. Our work has encompassed comprehensive wildfire threat analysis, the development of broad and targeted risk reduction recommendations, and meaningful engagement with allies of the landscape to identify values at risk and incorporate cultural considerations. Our team has conducted field verification of fuel types and vertical arrangements, and applied fire behaviour prediction methodologies to inform effective planning and mitigation strategies.
Strategic’s extensive experience with Community Wildfire Resiliency Plan (CWRP) development provides a foundational understanding of the overlapping values, regulations, and legislation that are present and unique to each community. We recognize the importance of aligning project objectives with stakeholder priorities and environmental considerations, ensuring those targets are met and that each plan is tailored to enhance community safety and resilience against wildfires. Our CWRPs stratify treatment units across the landscape based on a wildfire risk analysis and field-verified stand characteristics, providing wildfire risk reduction recommendations for the community in accordance with the seven FireSmart disciplines. We employ a science-based methodology that integrates local and provincial priorities with overarching objectives of prevention and preparedness.
