Reducing the Threat of Wildfire in the Pacific: the Pacific Fire Exchange
Through information, training, and tools for Pacific wildfire mitigation activities, the PFX supports:
Easier access to information sources
Better and more comprehensive information
Improved technical assistance
Environment with more collaborative information transfer
The Pacific Fire Exchange (PFX) is a fire science communication project co-led by the Hawai`i Wildfire Management Organization and the University of Hawai`i.
The project seeks to facilitate fire knowledge exchange and enable collaborative relationships among fire science stakeholders in the Pacific.
PFX supports members of the Pacific island fire community including:
Resource Managers
Fire Responders
Landowners Communities
Government
Non-profit
Higher Education
The project aims to meaningfully contribute towards reducing the threat of wildfire in the Pacific through the exchange of knowledge between scientists and managers and by supporting regionally relevant fire prevention and management collaborations.
The project leverages the “best available” research to reduce fire management costs and protect natural, social, and cultural resources from wildfire devastation.
