Special Calls for Research: 2018 and 2019 California Wildfires

The Natural Hazards Center—in partnership with the National Science Foundation—funded a special call in 2018 and a special call in 2019 for researchers to collect perishable data to learn from the California wildfires and how each event shaped the mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery efforts for future wildfires. The following is a list of final reports that were published as part of these calls.
