Title: A national cohesive wildland fire strategy
Description: The Northeast Regional Strategy Committee (NE RSC) supports three main recommendations that emerged from a collaborative effort to identify, define, and address wildland fire management problems and opportunities in the Northeast Region of the United States: 1) invest in successful partnerships and collaboration; 2) invest in local resources for wildland fire response and 3) invest in joint management planning and implementation that achieves strategic objectives and reduces the effects of fragmentation of fire dependent landscapes. In this phase of the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy the committee developed a hierarchy of objectives and actions to meet the three national goals based on the values, risks and uncertainties shared by stakeholders involved in wildland fire in the Northeast Region.
