Do wildfires cause another disaster?

Shortly after a large fire, there is always a risk of flooding and flood-based erosion until vegetation is re-established. Depending on the size of the fire, the loss of wildlife can be very great. It is also true that displaced survivors will have a high impact on animals already in the places where they end up as refugees. The human cost can be high in the aftermath. Some areas where uncontrolled blazes have swept through populated areas take months to clean up and present health and other hazards in the interim. Loss of timber can precipitate economic damage that adds to the total cost of damages inflicted by wildfires, any or all of which could be disasters, depending on the "threshold" set for the definition.
