This $1,000,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support Washington State University (WSU) in developing a community-focused power grid wildfire resilience planning framework. The project aims to study the impacts of wildfire-related power outages on communities, create advanced simulation models to predict wildfire risks, and develop strategies to mitigate these risks while promoting equitable distribution of benefits, costs, and burdens. The research team will integrate diverse stakeholder perspectives, engineering models, and community feedback to establish a planning framework that enhances the resilience of the power grid infrastructure to wildfires. The award has a period of performance from February 2025 to January 2030 and does not involve any planned subawards.
