Gulf Coastal Plain Ecosystem Partnership. Steering Committee Meeting Number 3, Jackson Guard, Eglin Air Force Base, December 2-3, 1999. Appendix G

Abstract

Florida's devastating wildfires in the summer of 1998 spawned a variety of educational messages and programs about wildfire preparedness, wildfire prevention, and prescribed fire. Our program, funded by a grant from the Advisory Council for Environmental Education of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, will ultimately develop a resource kit for County Extension Agents and Division of Forestry representatives to use in conducting local programs. The program development process has raised and answered several key questions: What should the public do to protect their homes from wildfire? What does the public already know and believe about wildland fire? What impact does experience with wildland fire have on knowledge and attitudes about fire?
