Climate Change: Urban multi-hazards

An interdisciplinary research team from UAA, UAS, and UAF is studying how Fairbanks, Anchorage, and Whitehorse are responding and adapting to wildfire, permafrost thaw, and rain-in-winter.

Government officials and experts will be asked about how your organization is adapting in terms of planning and policy, communicating with the public, how science is being used, costs and risks, and potential interactions among the hazards. The results of the survey will be used to provide recommendations about reducing risk and barriers to effectively integrate scientific information into management decisions about these hazards.
