Post Fire Rehabilitation

The immediate damage from high severity forest fires is readily apparent:  the loss of trees and vegetation.  Post-fire damage, however, may be even more significant than the damage caused by the fire.  The loss of forests to catastrophic fires typically leads to the following threats to life and property:
  • flooding
  • soil erosion
  • sedimentation in urban infrastructure

Post-fire rehabilitation has a number of objectives, including the following:
  1. minimizing threats to life and property
  2. restoring watersheds and water quality
  3. reducing the loss of productive soil
  4. controlling water flows
  5. restoring wildlife habitat
  6. salvaging timber for end-market products
