Flameproof Future: Strategies for Wildfire Prevention and Recovery

During the summertime in Idaho, it is often difficult to engage in outdoor activities due to air quality issues caused by wildfires. This research will look at the prevalence of wildfires in central Idaho and how they contribute to air pollution and accessibility to green spaces. The method used to address the research question will be compiling and analyzing peer-reviewed sources along with various organization websites, focusing on reducing the risk of wildfires, improving the quality of natural environments, and promoting outdoor activities. This research will raise awareness about the organizations that can reduce wildfire prevalence and the consequences of poor air quality while increasing the ability for people to access the outdoors. Wildfires contribute to air quality issues which act as a determinant of health because it can impact physical health and act as a barrier to outdoor spaces.
