Striving to Achieve Wildland Fire Preparedness
Supporting Interdisciplinary Wildland Fire Management
West Winds Analytica provides wildland fire management and assistance in the United States, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. We research the human dimension of wildland fire to provide managers with evidence based solutions to fire management problems.
We employ a comprehensive strategy in forming this plan, working closely to study human behaviour in wildland fire and fire social science. Our goal is to construct a wildland fire management scheme and support wildland fire planning and management.
After years of collaborative work, we have acquired the essential information and experience to lead wildland fire management.
