美国的全国统一野火管理战略旨在实现更大的社会和生态对野火的复原力。它还提出了一个问题：为谁和为了什么目的而凝聚？在这篇文章中，我们将讨论野火响应的目标以及内聚响应的含义。也就是说，我们定义一个有凝聚力的反应，跨尺度共同管理的能力，以更有效的野火响应。我们的方法是基于野火日益复杂的现实-生物学和社会政治。我们建议，在我们寻求更安全、更有效的野火应对之际，灭火和消防行动是必要的，但面对日益增长的复杂性，这还不够。使用基于网络的概念，并从社会生态恢复力的文献中，我们考虑如何规模可以匹配，什么可以和应该跨规模沟通，这意味着什么，为更有效的野火响应创建更适应性强的机构。2013年野火季节的21场火灾的调查结果，以说明与野火响应相关的相对优势和弱点，以及这些测量如何能够融入促进社会学习，适应和最终更具弹性的社会生态野火响应机构的过程。
The United States’ National Cohesive Wildfire Management Strategy aims to achieve greater social and ecological resilience to wildfire. It also raises the question: cohesive for whom and for what purpose? In this article, we address the wildfire response goal and what a cohesive response means. Namely, we define a cohesive response as the ability to co-manage across scales for a more effective wildfire response. Our approach is grounded in the reality of the growing complexity of wildfire – both biophysically and socio-politically. We suggest that suppression and fire operations are necessary, but insufficient in the face of this growing complexity as we seek safer and effective wildfire response. Using network-based concepts and drawing from the literature on socio-ecological resilience, we consider how scales can be matched, what can and should be communicated across scales, and what this means for creating more adaptable institutions for more effective wildfire response. Survey results from 21 fires during the 2013 wildfire season are presented to illustrate relative areas of strength and weakness related to wildfire response and how these measurements can feed into processes to facilitate social learning, adaptation and ultimately more resilient socio-ecological wildfire response institutions.
