Description:
On December 30, 2021, the climate-enabled and weather-driven Marshall Fire destroyed 1,084 homes and damaged 149 more in the communities of Louisville, Superior, and unincorporated Boulder County, becoming the most destructive fire in Colorado’s history. This project focuses on regulations that contribute to disaster and climate resilience of communities through interviews with local officials and document analysis along with a thorough survey of residents to examine risk perceptions, emotional and physical health impacts, evacuation, recovery decisions, and local government participation. The survey is a three-wave panel survey with wave 1 complete and waves 2/3 expected late 2022/early 2023. De-identified datasets from the surveys will be available.

This survey is a cumulation of efforts led by our research group (Crow, Dickinson, DeVoss, Albright) which brought together 30+ researchers to implement a survey following the most destructive wildfire in Colorado's history, the 2021 Marshall Fire in Boulder County. The survey contained a wide range of material including the themes: evacuation and emergency alerts, perception of air pollution exposure, home cleaning, reminders of the fire, social capital, participatory processes, policy support, rebuilding/relocation decisions, physical and mental health effects, recovery and resilience, and worldview. This project is unique in that there were numerous researchers interested in collaborating following the fire to reduce burden on community members. Data from this project can be used to inform future recovery efforts following natural disasters. The audience for this data is other researchers.
