The increasing severity of fires due to climate change and urban development necessitates sharing knowledge among wildfire-prone cities, such as Los Angeles, to implement effective prevention measures.
"Cities such as Los Angeles can and should help each other figure out how to mitigate the fires of the future, using new technology, policy, and prevention and suppression strategies."
"Wildfires are an increasingly grave risk to cities around the world... Climate change is making fires worse, and cities are pushing residents into the wildland-urban interface."
