Health Management Planning for Landscape Fire Smoke Events: A Literature Review and Suggested Human‐Centred Framework for Resource Development

Poor air quality arising from landscape fire smoke (LFS) events presents a substantial health burden to at‐risk individuals and communities. However, there are few dedicated health management resources available for priority populations, despite increasing climate‐related landscape fire risks. We conducted a literature review to analyse health management plans and strategies available for at‐risk individuals in Australia, Canada and the United States. Our review identified four resources, of which only two were dedicated LFS health action plans, revealing a critical gap in preparedness. Given this scarcity, we suggest a human‐centred framework to inform LFS‐specific resource development. We propose a design thinking approach to create tailored LFS health action plans for priority populations and healthcare providers and describe the steps a resource development team would take to apply a human‐centred framework. This approach addresses both practical management challenges and socio‐cultural contexts for implementation.
