Now published: We interviewed 23 practitioners from electric utilities, wildfire & emergency management, & public health & health care about how they prepare for outages, wildfire, and their combination. link.growkudos.com/1e42k2ejw8w @borealchrys.bsky.social #ClimateChange #Wildfire #GreySky

“It takes two to tango”: a qualitative study of cross-sectoral collaboration at the community-wildfire-energy interface in Alaska. KEY MESSAGE: Utilities, emergency management, fire services, transportation, public health, and health care organizations are increasingly interdependent during wildfire-related power outages, yet cross-sector collaboration and attention to social vulnerability remained limited. WHAT WE DID: Conducted 23 Interviews in Alaska

Electric Utilities
Fire Management
Emergency Management
Infrastructure/Transportation
Public Health & Health Care

Asked about information sharing and decision-making for power outages, wildfire, and their combination.
MAIN FINDINGS: Hazard Planning ⚠️ Planning focused primarily on wildfire and power outages as single hazards, rather than their interactions. Cross-Sector Collaboration
🔗 High interdependence in fuels management and emergency response, but cross-sector collaboration was inconsistent.
Social Vulnerability
⚖️ No systematic approach to addressing social vulnerability.

Now Published: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... The combination of wildfire and power outages are becoming increasingly common due to climate change, but cross-sector collaboration is needed for equitable resilience.
