Droughts create conditions for wildfires


Title: Droughts create conditions for wildfires

Description: As the climate crisis escalates, many natural hazards, such as wildfires, are increasing in frequency. Extreme drought events may create conditions for wildfires, and when followed by heavy precipitation, may lead to landslides.
