Wildfires are increasingly recognized as complex public health emergencies with far-reaching consequences for human health, environmental systems, communities, infrastructure, and economies. While many wildfire publications focus primarily on fire behavior, suppression operations, and forestry management, this textbook examines wildfires through a public health lens.

Wildfire as a Public Health Emergency introduces the Public Health Wildfire Prevention Effort (PHWeP) Framework, also known as the Ebeh Framework, a six-pillar model developed to strengthen wildfire prevention, preparedness, response, recovery, and resilience.

The framework integrates:

- Technology and Innovation

- Wildfire Risk Assessment

- Community Education and Participation

- Public Health Surveillance

- Emergency Response and Recovery

- Policy, Governance, and Partnerships

Drawing from public health, environmental health, epidemiology, emergency management, disaster preparedness, and One Health principles, this textbook presents a multidisciplinary approach to understanding and addressing wildfire-related challenges.

Topics covered include:

- History and epidemiology of wildfires

- Wildfire risk assessment and preparedness

- Respiratory and cardiovascular health effects

- Mental health consequences of wildfire disasters

- Environmental health impacts

- One Health approaches to wildfire management

- Public health surveillance systems

- Community preparedness and resilience

- Artificial intelligence and emerging technologies

- Wildfire policy, governance, and partnerships

- Global wildfire case studies

- Recovery planning and long-term resilience

Designed for students, researchers, public health professionals, environmental health practitioners, emergency managers, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and disaster response personnel, this book provides both foundational knowledge and practical applications for managing wildfire-related public health challenges.

A unique feature of this textbook is the introduction of the Ebeh Public Health Wildfire Prevention Effort (PHWeP) Framework, a comprehensive public health-centered model that integrates prevention, preparedness, response, recovery, and resilience into a unified approach for wildfire management.

Ideal for undergraduate and graduate programs in Public Health, Environmental Health, Emergency Management, Disaster Preparedness, Global Health, Health Policy, Environmental Science, and Disaster Risk Reduction. The text may also serve as a professional reference for public health agencies, FEMA personnel, emergency management agencies, environmental health professionals, non-governmental organizations, humanitarian response organizations, and emergency response institutions throughout the United States and around the world.
