Mental Health Crisis During Wildfires: Self-help Resolution
School of Design, Pratt Institute, New York 11205, USA
The concern toward wildfires has risen to a global level in recent decades. The startling 2020 California wildfire and 2019 Australian bushfire season have proved the duration of wildfire season has grown to seven months or more. Behind this shocking number, another problem alongside health and environmental crisis emerged. Mental health crisis quietly distributes its power among the crowds. Under the growing influence of wildfires, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, worrying, and other symptoms that relate to mental health are distributed among the civilian population. This research paper aims to discover the factors that should be considered in wildfire stress disorder recovery and design a self-help product that could mitigate those symptoms. Scoping reviews, three intensive interviews with victims of California wildfires, and one expert interview with a research health science specialist at Stanford School of Medicine will be in support of this research.
