This project proposes “Tinderbox,” a modular, portable housing system for wildfire evacuees. Inspired by the Fort McMurray disaster, it addresses shortcomings of emergency shelters by providing privacy, sanitation, and essential amenities. Easily assembled and reusable, it supports both immediate relief and long-term recovery, improving well-being during disaster displacement.

This study evaluated QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) suicide prevention training among 2,000 professionals. Results showed significant improvements in knowledge, attitudes, and intervention skills, though effects varied by profession. Findings suggest QPR is effective but may require tailored approaches to maximize impact across different occupational groups.
