Did you know that fire intensity affects soils differently after fire? Dr. Clay Trauernicht has some great slides on what happens after fire in the presentation here: pacificfireexchange.org/resource/slide…

Food security and farming is so important on Pacific Islands. With so many challenges that farmers face, destruction by fire shouldn't be one of them. Check out our presentation for tips on preparing: pacificfireexchange.org/resource/farm-…

In thinking about risks to your farm (or home), it's always critical to think about the environmental conditions. Check out the presentation here for more information: pacificfireexchange.org/resource/farm-…

Media alert! There are now updated wildland fire maps for the western Pacific, including Guam and the Northern Marianas islands (from 2015 - 2022). Check them out here (scroll to the bottom): pacificfireexchange.org/region/guam-an…

New media alert! There are now updated wildland fire maps for the western Pacific, including Palau (from 2016 - 2022). Check them out here (scroll to the bottom): pacificfireexchange.org/region/the-rep…

Did you know that in Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, fires are set mostly intentionally, typically related to hunting? Fire also occurs most typically during their dry season, from December to June. Learn more here: pacificfireexchange.org/region/guam-an…

Did you know that Palau has been inhabited for 3,000 years and has high levels of endemism (locally unique) species. Like elsewhere in western Pacific islands, fire is set intentionally and is more common from March to April. Learn more here: pacificfireexchange.org/region/the-rep…

Did you know that the Federated States of Micronesia are an independent nation with 600+ high islands including Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, Kosrae? Fire-prone savannas have a long history of intentional burning by people. Check it out here: pacificfireexchange.org/region/federat…

In case you missed it, our Talk Story Tuesday "Grazing to Reduce Blazing," we round up the latest research to understand more about how our four-legged friends (goats, sheep, cows, etc.) if managed properly can help reduce blazing and wildland fire: pacificfireexchange.org/resource/talk-…

Speaking of "Grazing to Reduce Blazing", here's our Part II. This science share out was with UH's Dr. Clay Trauernicht; Raia Olsen of O‘ahu Grazers, Dr. Elliott Parsons, DLNR. They presented how-tos on hiring island professional grazers and lessons learned for contract grazing.

This was one of the most well attended and interesting webinars we've had with Dr. Alyssa Anderson at UH Manoa presenting on wildfire in Hawai`i in the context of Hawaiian language 19th century "nupepa" (newspapers): pacificfireexchange.org/resource/talk-…

Speaking of webinars, we tackle the climate crisis in Hawai`i and how this affects the risk of wildfire as well as the impacts to people and the archipelago's unique resources. Check it out here: pacificfireexchange.org/resource/webin…

Eric Moller, Deputy Chief of Hawai‘i County Fire shares his perspective of the changing fire regimes in Hawai‘i, current challenges and how we can help in his presentation "Wildland Considerations–A Hawai‘i Island Firefighter’s Perspective: pacificfireexchange.org/resource/prese…

Speaking of webinars, if you missed it, here's a good one! "Kickin’ Grass in Hawaii for Wildfire Management & Restoration" with Dr. James Leary who presents his and experiments on tropical grasses herbicide timing, application method, and ingredients. pacificfireexchange.org/resource/webin…

One of the most frequent questions we've gotten at PFX is: what do I do to help my burned land? While the answers and approaches are many, we do have answers to some of these questions: pacificfireexchange.org/after-fire/

As the rainy season begins, many of us are thinking of the places that have burned, some with devastating effects. We often get asked how to prevent soil erosion into streams and waterways. Find out more here: pacificfireexchange.org/resource/soil-…

In the aftermath of the August 2023 fires, there are so many questions about what to plant: native or non-native? What about direct seeding? Where can I get plants? What about moving around invasive pests? We have many answers! pacificfireexchange.org/resource/reveg…
