Wildfires pose a significant threat to the state of California. While climate change is contributing to increased fire risk, human activities, including ignitions, alterations to natural landscapes, and development patterns, also play a substantial role in shaping the risk. Moreover, the management actions in response to this risk have societal impacts themselves. This dissertation first frames the challenge of wildfire risk management by considering the tradeoffs between the cost of taking action, the reduction in wildfire damages, and welfare losses. It explores how misaligned incentives and the uneven distribution of costs and benefits lead individual decision-makers to undertake suboptimal mitigation measures. This dissertation then delves deeper into two specific management strategies: the efforts of investor-owned utilities to reduce powerline ignition risk and the actions of individuals in protecting their homes and safety. Using a variety of data collection techniques and methods from economics, risk analysis, and data science, this research provides insights into the costs, drivers, and effectiveness of these strategies. The findings highlight the need for aligning policies and incentives to minimize the impact of both wildfires and mitigation measures and ultimately seek to inform research and decision-making towards effective wildfire management.
