| Title | Interagency Wildland Fire Air Quality Response Program (IWFAQRP) |
| Authoring Organization | U.S. Forest Service |
| Abstract | Recognition of the growing threat that wildfire smoke poses to public health and safety has resulted in a proactive and determined response led by the USDA-Forest Service (USFS) and enhanced through partnership with many other agencies such as the National Park Service. The Interagency Wildland Fire Air Quality Response Program (IWFAQRP) was created to directly assess, communicate, and address risks posed by wildland fire smoke to the public as well as fire personnel. The program depends on four primary components: specially trained personnel called Air Resource Advisors, air quality monitoring, smoke concentration and dispersion modeling, and coordination and cooperation with agency partners. |
