Faculty bio

Amanda Stasiewicz is an academic expert in the human dimensions of wildfires. She studies how individuals, communities, and organizations adapt to changing environmental circumstances. Amanda conducts research at the interface of communities and wildfire risk, particularly focusing on how communities and organizations navigate becoming more fire adapted in an increasingly fire-prone world. Her current work focuses on wildfire weather communication and resident evacuation, the impacts of public safety power shutoffs policy on communities and industry, new or novel programs for mitigating parcel-level wildfire risk in collaboration with insurance companies, alternatives to evacuation, local wildfire response and suppression capacity, and the effectiveness of wildfire-related policy and programs.
