The period of time after a wildfire has moved through an area can be extremely challenging. Recovery in both communities and on the landscape can take time. In some cases, the events that come after a wildfire, such as debris flows and flooding, can be more impactful and destructive than the fire itself. The Commission made a number of recommendations to improve post-fire recovery, including recommendations focused on recovery processes and frameworks (R60-R65), planning for post-fire (R66-R67), recovery in the built environment (R68-R74), and recovery in the natural environment (R75-R82). Additionally, the Commission recognized the need to support emerging best practices (R88). Critically, the Commission felt that the recovery period provided an opportunity to better position both the built and the natural environment to better withstand future disturbances. By looking at recovery as a proactive opportunity, instead of a reactive need, the Commission felt the nation would be better prepared for future wildfires.
