Chelsea Hall explores tradeoffs among two alternative policy approaches for mitigating wildfire impacts in Greece: creating a prescribed burn insurance program while leveraging the goat population, and partnering with the Greek Fire Service to fund community wildfire protection plans. Ultimately, she advocates for the establishment of community wildfire protection plans in order to foster community and interagency partnerships, arguing that these locality-specific adaptation policies constitute a more integrated and equitable approach to fire management.
