Governor Newsom secured major funding increases for active forest management in California, and just this week theUS Forest Service released a 10-year strategy to confront the wildfire crisiswith the $3 billion from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Both plans acknowledge the need to improve forest ...
Forests in western North America are shaped by fire and -- for the past century or more -- by the absence of it.After more than a century of fire exclusion and under a rapidly changing climate, fire behavior has changed, and damage from wildfire is increasing. With more than a century ...
Historical data from the ICS-209s are now archived by the National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) on the Fire and Aviation Management (FAM) Application and Information Website at (https://famit.nwcg.gov/applications/SIT209/historicalSITdata), which replaces the previous Fire and Aviation Ma...
adapted for non-fire use. In parallel with this effort, the NWCG adopted and revised the FIRESCOPE ICS documentation to create the National Interagency Incident Management System (NIIMS) Incident Command System Operational System Description (ICS 120-1) - a document that was collectively maintained ...
[7]. Under the historical low-severity fire model used by these studies, changes in historical dry forests from logging, livestock grazing, and fire suppression allowed fuel buildup, leading to uncharacteristic high-severity fire [4,5,6,7]. These studies recommend active management, such as ...

Web visualizer tools have been developed for other specific domains like data-driven wildfire modeling [22] and fire inspection prioritization [23] in the past. Our developed web visualizer allows imagery and prediction layers visualization for any disasters where before and after disaster satell...

were chosen to serve as estimators of forest carbon at risk from impact by wildfire, one of our primary goals for developing these data. Other potential future uses include 1) modelling effects of surface roughness on wind, 2) modeling fuel treatment effect on future vegetation and fire risk,...
