Approximately 80,000 Oregon homes and other buildings are in areas of high or extreme wildfire risk. That's according to a new map the Oregon Department of Forestry released Thursday. This means that those property owners may be subject to new building code and defensible space requirements to mitigate the risk from future wildfires. The new requirements are still going through a public process and property owners can appeal their risk classification. OPB reporter Cassandra Profita fills us in on the details.

As an out-of-control blaze approached their home, a couple made what seems like a crazy choice: they ignored evacuation orders and stood their ground. Fire officials tell us that decisions like this puts lives at risk, including the lives of firefighters who may need to come to the rescue. In the U.S., authorities universally agree that escaping to safety is the only reasonable thing to do. And yet some people still insist on staying put to defend their own homes. In this replay of an episode from 2019, we tell the extraordinary story of Gari and Lori Lyon, who survived seemingly impossible odds during one of the world wildfires in California history.

National Interagency Coordination Center meteorologists Nick Nauslar and Jim Wallmann explain the difference between prediction and potential for weather forecasting. We discuss day-to-day operations in predicative services at the National Interagency Fire Center, how the National Significant Wildland Fire Potential Outlook is produced, and the significance of communicating fire weather to wildland fire managers, media, and the public. We also hear about anomalies such as fire-generated tornadic vortices increasing in frequency and working on wildfires as an incident meteorologist (IMET).

What happens in the Arctic doesn't always stay in the Arctic. Changes in conditions in the Arctic Ocean can have an impact on land as well. A loss of sea ice, for example, appears to increase the risk of wildfires in the Pacific Northwest. Wildfires have been a growing problem in Washington, Oregon, and northern California for a couple of decades. Around Labor Day of 2020, for example, fires in Washington burned more than half a million acres in just 36 hours. And the 2021 fire season in California was the worst ever.There are many reasons for the boost -- many of them related to Earth's changing climate. It's bringing warmer and drier conditions to the northwest. And one cause may be less ice in the Arctic.Researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory found that the amount of sea-ice has gone way down over the past 40 years. The scientists plugged those numbers into computer models of how the atmosphere responds to the change.They found that, with less ice, the ocean surface and the surrounding land get warmer in late summer and early fall. That creates an updraft that pushes the polar jet stream away from its normal path. Low pressure builds off the coast of Alaska, with high pressure over Washington and surrounding areas. The combination brings warmer, drier air to the northwest over the last third of the year. That increases the risk that fires will ignite, and that they'll burn longer -- a big change thanks to changes in the Arctic Ocean.

California allocated a record $1.5 billion for wildfire prevention and forest health in 2021. Yet Cal Fire, the agency largely in charge of prevention efforts, is struggling to track and implement projects and took years to authorize to establish a prescribed-burn workforce certification program, as required by state law. At the same time, its firefighting staff has increased substantially — demonstrating what experts have characterized as an internal prioritization of suppression over mitigation. That's all according to a monthslong investigation by California Newsroom reporters, who join us to talk about their findings.
