Use maps to provide incident managers, elected officials, and the public with critical information during a fire. Stabilize and restore landscapes Quickly assess damage and track debris removal to provide access to impacted areas. Identify areas at the highest risk of postfire flooding and landslides...
KTVB says, Celilo Miles a 27-year-old Idaho native is a student, model and wildland firefighter for the Nez Perce tribe. The casting agency reached out to her via Instagram message. It is by far the biggest modeling gig she has ever done....
In just four years, NIFC’s Wildfire Response GIS user group on Esri Community has grown to nearly 1,500 users, with more joining all the time. The group is private, which gives the NIFC team control over who can access it. Any professionals who are involved in wildland fire response can...
Indeed, there are a range of software packages, libraries and other open-source code to carry out wildfire simulation, such as FlamMap, LandFire, FIRETEC, QES-Fire, Wildfire Analyst, FSim, FSpro, MEDFIRE, and others. Wildfire simulation involves the creation of virtual scenarios that mimic ...
Wildland Toolkit is not a tutorial on wildland fire behavior, so if the terms above do not make any sense, then this application will not teach you. It is assumed that you know the same background information that is presented in an S290 or S390 class. The calculations done in the Wildl...
“branches” of 1) relationships and interactions among residents and their environment; 2) local knowledge and experience with wildland fire; 3) relations with local administrations and governance bodies; and 4) structural and demographic information. Understanding local social contexts can help fire-...
Prescribed fireEnvironmental assessmentSpatial generative modelComputational models for understanding and predicting fire in wildland and managed lands are increasing in impact. Data characterizing the fuels and environment is needed to continue improvement in the fidelity and reliability of fire outcomes. ...
fire management63,64, post-fire dust emissions are likely to rise41. Thus, recognizing chemical-specific health risks beyond general PM2.5is crucial. Information about environmental drivers of fire-catalyzed Cr(VI) generation in wildland areas can help guide the development of prediction tools to ...
with fire presence as an area affected by wildfire. We used the MODIS Active Fire dataset because it provides the longest consistent spatially explicit global time series information of fire. However, MODIS active fire data have some limitations, for example caused by the wide sensor swath of 2...
The process is complicated by the lack of data integration among fire behavior models, and weak linkages to geographic information systems, corporate data, and desktop office software. This paper describes our efforts to build a streamlined fuel management planning and risk assessment framework, and ...
