Post-Fire Watershed Protection Added to National Stormwater Conference

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C., June 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Wildfires have already scorched thousands of acres, and "fire season" is still ahead. But after the smoke clears and evacuation orders are lifted, how do we protect people, property, and infrastructure from post-fire erosion, debris flows, and flooding hazards before the winter rains arrive?
