The Hughes Postfire Baer incident, initiated in Los Angeles County on February 1, focuses on emergency responses to mitigate post-fire impacts. Following a wildfire, recovery unfolds in three phases: Fire Suppression Repair, Emergency Stabilization, and Long-Term Recovery. The BAER team quickly evaluates burned watersheds to address dangers to life, property, and ecosystems. Actions such as mulching and seeding are crucial to prevent erosion, manage water runoff, and safeguard critical resources affected by increased post-fire hazards like flooding and debris flows.
