Summary:

"Wildfire destruction is worse than it should be. In the 2017 fires, robocalls and digital alerts came too late to help many people. Warnings reached only a small percentage of the population. A better understanding of wildfires is badly needed. STEM concepts--ideas from the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math--can provide a foundation for developing new solutions for dealing with wildfires."-- Provided by publisher.
