Laptop Battery Over the past 10 months the Bush Administrations ill-named Healthy Forests Initiative has solidified into legislation known as HR1904, the Healthy Forests Restoration Act. The problem is that after one version was passed in the House and another negotiated in the Senate the bill still fails to make community safety a priority and leaves our most precious National Forests open to logging.
"Computer industry analysts estimate that some 60 percent of all corporate data exists only on desktop and laptop computers, " said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis. "Incorporating Acronis True Image with New Mexico Software backup server is the ideal solution to capture that corporate data and ensure that it is not lost. While traditional server backups are effective for protecting server data, every company should have a combination of server and workstation backup plans."
Thinkpad Despite proven Forest Service research that shows creating defensible space around communities will dramatically improve homeowner safety, the Bush Administration and their industry allies are willing to sacrifice community protection in order to increase commercial logging, erode environmental safeguards and citizen participation.

Microsoft The Bush administrations bill does not focus scarce federal funding and resources where they would do the most good: in the Community Protection Zone, about 500 meters around communities. This legislation will increase the incentives for the Forest Service and Department of Interior to conduct misguided logging projects deep in the backcountry in the name of fuel reduction. It would provide more help and money to timber companies than to fire-threatened and cash-starved communities.

Laptop Computers A majority of the projects claiming to reduce hazardous fuels, and the taxpayer funds spent to implement them, are instead going to commercial logging projects that are miles away from the nearest home or community. Implementing these backcountry-logging projects does nothing to safeguard communities. In recent years, hundreds of thousands of people have moved into the urban wildland interface, the areas where forests and communities meet. The Forest Services own research has found that the best method to protect a house from a forest fire is to treat the Community Protection Zone, an area of 100 feet around a house, and to protect communities by treating treat an area of 500 meters.

Laptop Computer Prescribed fires can reduce fuels and fire hazards. These fires are usually carried out when fuel moistures are moderate, such as spring and late fall. Fine fuels such as fallen branches, twigs and brush are burned, but most large fuels are only charred. Prescribed fires are less intense and less severe than most wildfires and, therefore, are less likely to damage soils and kill overstory trees. Prescribed burning is also very helpful inside the Community Protection Zone and immediately outside those areas. Burns can aid in the elimination of the most flammable brush and smaller materials that accelerate fires toward communities. Planned fires also can remove smaller ladder fuels that spread fires from the ground to tree crowns. Careful, well-planned burns can be implemented periodically around communities to mimic natural fire cycles during periods of advantageous weather and this way help keep communities safe during extreme drought.

Desktop Computer Communities need three kinds of measures:
Notebooks * Cut brush and small diameter trees to remove flammable materials in the Community Protection Zone (500 yards around a community), creating a fire break so firefighters can control future fires and keep them away from structures.
Lenovo * Use controlled burning around communities wherever we can to reduce the dead wood and small brush that fuel large fires. Every dollar spent on prescribed burning saves seven dollars on fighting large fires later.
Hard Drive * Help in making their home firesafe by removing hazards like brush, small trees and overhanging branches, and moving firewood and other flammable material away from structures. The goal is to secure the immediate vicinity 35 yards around

Laptop Parts Do the most important work first. Make protecting communities from fires the Forest Service's Number One Priority. Reduce fuels in the Community Protection Zone--the first 500 yards out from buildings. |
Software The Bush administration plan would not require that hazardous fuels reduction projects be focused in the Community Protection Zone. Logging projects would occur well outside the quarter mile zone recommended by the Forest Service Fire Research lab and provide no protection for communities | |
| Provide meaningful funding that is dedicated to priority work in the Community Protection Zone. This funding should be secure so the Forest Service bureaucracy cannot shift it to other activities. | The Bush administration plan does not require funding for hazardous fuels reduction projects around communities. Federal agencies could divert funds and personnel outside of the wildland urban interface | |
| Match personnel to work. Shift Forest Service personnel skilled in preparing brush clearing and thinning projects away from backcountry, low-priority areas to locations near the Community Protection Zones. | The Bush administration plan would allow logging in remote backcountry areas under the auspices of hazardous fuel reduction rather than concentrating 100% of funds and personnel on the Community Protection Zone. | |
| Immediately carry out the vast majority of fuel reduction projects in Community Protection Zones that raise no significant environmental issues. Work together with communities and other groups to plan fuel reduction activities that may involve critical wildlife habitat. | The Bush administration plan calls for completing harmful logging projects outside the Community Protection Zone regardless of significant environmental issues including roadless areas and critical wildlife habitat. | |
| Restore the natural role played by small fires that periodically sweep across the forest floor, add nutrients to the soil, clear out brush and trigger trees to release new seeds. Prescribed burns can help to reduce fuel buildup and restore healthy forest habitats. | The Bush administration plan would prioritize tree cutting over prescribed burning and not require hard standards for not cutting the largest and most fire resistant trees. |
| Protect our ancient and wild forests from logging and logging roads. Forest Service studies show that 80 percent of fires in western forests start in areas with roads. | The Bush administration plan does not prohibit new logging roads construction.The bill does not prohibit logging and road building in roadless areas. The compromise encourages the courts to give agencies the option of not considering the most current science on fuels reduction and the impacts of roads. [if !supportEmptyParas] [endif] | |
| Stop the attack on forest protection safeguards. Ensure full public participation in decision-making in National Forest management as the best way to deter bad logging practices that increase fire risks. | The Bush administration plan reduces bedrock environmental laws and significantly curtails public participation as well as the consideration of a wide range of reasonable alternatives for fuel reduction. | |
