Looking forward to presenting "Predicting Post-Wildfire Effects and Risks Around Reservoirs in a Changing Climate" at #ASDSO in Denver this week. I have been working on this research for over a year and a half. The presentation abstract is below: In recent decades, wildfires have increased in size, frequency, and severity, which has subsequently increased the hazards of post-fire erosion, runoff, and debris flows. Published climate studies expect wildfires to continue increasing in size, frequency, and severity. Additionally, under climate change scenarios, rainstorm events are expected to increase in intensity. As wildfires increase, the interaction between burned watersheds and reservoirs are also likely to increase. This paper proposes a conservative, practical methodology to model potential post-fire erosion, watershed response, and debris flow responses. These methodologies can be used to model current conditions, projected 25-year conditions (2050), and projected 50-year conditions (2075). The projected conditions will account for climate changes in design storms and burn severity under the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios. This methodology uses state-of-practice modeling techniques used by the U.S. Geological Survey, current published literature research, and my own thesis research to project climate changes onto a design fire that is used to estimate potential post-fire responses around reservoirs. To demonstrate these methodologies, post-fire responses were modeled around Comanche and Hourglass Reservoirs. Both reservoirs, located in the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forest, Colorado, are considered high hazard potential dams. A total of 85 debris-flow basins were generated, each with estimated likelihoods, volumes, hazards, and inundations. Results indicate that several basins would likely contribute debris-flows directly into both reservoirs, which would impact water storage volume and quality. The modeling results also show a potential for post-fire debris flows to impact and impede operations at Comanche Dam. The post-fire erosion response shows increased deposition under climate change and highlights the largest contributing areas of sediment, which would impact water quality and storage volume in the reservoir. The post-fire watershed hydraulic basin responses show increases in runoff under climate change, as well as decreased runoff concentration times and higher peak runoffs. Modeling the potential post-fire hydraulic basin responses, erosion responses, and debris flow responses can provide information to help reservoir owners improve dam safety and protect water quality in the event of a wildfire. The results of these analyses can also be used to provide first-order estimates for dam owners, dam safety engineers, and emergency responders to help guide decisions immediately after a fire ignites near a reservoir.
Stop by and visit with W. W. Wheeler & Associates, Inc. at Exhibit Booth 307 during our hometown Association of State Dam Safety Officials (ASDSO) Dam Safety Conference in Denver. Our staff will be speaking at the following sessions during the conference.

It was a pleasure to join my fellow panellists today at the UK Trust and Safety Summit. I'll share my response here to final question to us all on the biggest challenges we face in CSA prevention: 💬 Children can feel like it's up to them to prevent their own abuse. 💬 The response we give children can lead to feelings of blame and shame - 'I shouldn't have sent that image/accepted that friend request/ replied to that person.' 💬 We need to keep front of mind that abuse is often discovered and not disclosed. 💬 If we remove the ability to discover, we put the onus on disclosure. This takes recognition of harm, courage to speak, means and language to connect and finally knowledge of and trust in those who can help. The biggest common purpose that connects us all, whether law enforcement, regulation or NGOs, is to better hear from children themselves to inform both prevention and response.
Very important panel discussion looking at the role of CSA reporting & response. Thank you to Ian Critchley QPM, Sarah Blight, Andrew Briercliffe, Kate Edwards and Wendy Hart for your involvement and expertise. #childsafety #trustandsafety

Hello Everyone!!! I don't want to brag, that's not what this is about.. BUT... I am Sooooo excited to share this with you. You Don't Want To Miss This!!! This panel of experts have been chosen by NFPA and at the risk of being biased, I have to share one of the most powerfully insightful CRR discussions happening Internationally! There are going to be so many Lifesaving nuggets shared that could potentially save lives in all of our Communities. Look at Who's Presenting at the upcoming 2024 NFPA Conference and Expo... Karen Berard-Reed put together a Mega-Panel of CRR experts.

Sara Jasmin, Fire and Life Safety Education, Oregon Department of State Fire Marshal, Aman Kainth , Ministry of Solicitor General, Government of Ontario, Office of the Fire Marshal, Canada, Ashley Rodrigue, Louisiana State Fire Marshal’s Office, Kevin J. Sehlmeyer, Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, State of Michigan, Bureau of Fire Services and Stan Barnes, CRR Fire And Life Safety Consulting LLC, Retired / Farmington Hills Fire Department Join us for this #NFPA panel discussion to learn how state and provincial leaders drive Community Risk Reduction across their jurisdictions and support the work of local CRR teams. Panelists, all representatives from state level agencies across North America, will discuss their CRR strategies including the role of data, critical partnerships, and how they engage with local CRR specialists to support local implementation. Panelists will also discuss their perspectives on CRR as an all-hazards approach to neighborhood safety. Bring your questions and suggestions to this interactive session to elevate the conversation. #CRR #CRRl #NFPA #Firefighter #Firesafety #Fireprevention #NFPAConf24
