Burned Area Emergency Response Treatments Catalog (Baercat) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781288309412)

The Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) catalog presents treatments, instructions, monitoring tools, and references that BAER assessment and implementation teams use to identify appropriate treatments in a BAER emergency. The target audience for this publication is any Federal land management agency BAER assessment and implementation team. The publication is written as instructions to the team. However, other readers with an interest in emergency rehabilitation of fire areas will benefit from this information. BAER treatments for land, channels, roads/trails, and protection and safety are discussed in the catalog. Readers will learn the primary treatment use, the purpose and objective of the treatment, suitable locations for treatment implementation, and cost factors. Available treatment effectiveness information is provided to share known benefits and limitations of the treatments, although such information may be limited or anecdotal. BAER teams should validate specific treatment effectiveness in the affected area prior to recommending its use.
