QUOTE 0 When wildfires spread into communities, the consequences of such incidents can be extreme— resulting in billions of dollars of losses for residents, governments, and insurers, as well as substantial social impacts, damaging the short-term and long-term viability of a community, and displacing or injuring community residents. For example, a recent study indicated that the economic impact of smoke on residents’ health can amount to billions of dollars. QUOTE 0 There is a need to consider addressing the effects of WUI fires, beyond the immediate impact of the fires themselves, to contribute to the recovery of the community (and the affected population). These longer-term effects include health considerations (e.g., ongoing impact of exposure to smoke, elevated temperatures, and toxins on community members), economic implications (e.g., damage repair costs, loss of tourism, business downturn, reduced external business investment, and reallocation of funds to address community recovery), social implications (e.g., community displacement and relocation, reduction in staff, supplies and equipment available for vital social functions such as health care and education, and decline in social capital and sense of community), among many others.
