The Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction (ICLR) and the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) recommend the development of standardized methods for conducting wildland/urban interface fire case study research in Canada.

This report, authored by wildland fire experts from ForestWise Environmental Consulting and the Canadian Forest Service, initiated by ICLR, and sponsored by SCC, serves as a foundation and is a first step toward creating best practices for wildland/urban interface (WUI) fire exposure and impact case studies in Canada. The report also explores what a comprehensive methodology might look like. It addresses scientific, operational, and administrative aspects of implementing WUI fire case study research.
