The Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC is now a formal partner of the United States Forest Service in a Memorandum of Understanding that will see a continued flow of research and information between the two organisations.
The CEO of the BNH CRC, Dr Richard Thornton, and the Director of Fire and Aviation Management at USFS, Tom Harbour, signed the agreement at the annual conference in Wellington, shortly after Habour delivered a keynote presentation on the conference theme Learning from Adversity.
The USFS was also a partner with the Bushfire CRC through an MOU.
