industry around Big Bear. As there may be impacts upon tourism from reducedsnowpack, floods, and wildfires, employees of this industry may become moreeconomically vulnerable because of unstable working conditions.Impacts upon safety and emergency response services are of particular concernin this region because of the potential for particularly lengthy and severe heatevents. In extreme heat events, roads essential for disaster response couldbuckle.WildfireThe high temperatures that characterize much of the desert landscape in thisregion limit the production of fuels that result in wildfire. However, shortperiods of high moisture (intense rainfall events) can increase production of finefuels. In addition, invasive species, particularly in desert settings, may facilitate firein areas not historically prone to burn.Additional Resources• Wildfire• x California Fire Science Consortium, Mojave and Sonoran Desert Module(http://www.cafiresci.org/home-mojave-desert/)• x California Fire Alliance (http://cafirealliance.org/)• x California FireSafe Council (http://www.firesafecouncil.org/)• Biodiversity and Ecosystems• x California Department of Fish and Game. 2007.
