  1. GIS Applications in Interagency Fire Management Planning EastFIRE 2005 Michael A. da Luz – ESRI Jeff Baranyi - ESRI

  2. The Need • Provide a common planning framework • Identify joint areas of priority • Provide a common means of displaying key information • Program accountability

  3. Issues • Cost containment • Planning – time & effort • Data – standards and availability • Collaboration and coordination • Priorities and jurisdictions • Action Plan

  4. Objective • Common framework • Linkage between strategy and tactics • Resource integration • Generate key reports for accountability

  5. Geospatial Perspectives • Georeference – where is it? • Spatial relationships – how does it fit? • Spatial Analysis –how is it relevant? • Base Data • Real Time Data • Interoperability – how does it match? • Data integration • Data sharing • Data Display – how does it look? • Treatments – what did you do?

  6. Genesis • Statewide Fire Risk Assessment • Front Range Assessment • “edge matching” • Treatment maps on Web • Hayman – Pre & Post Reviews • Front Range Fuels Treatment Partnership • Udall Panel

  7. Key concepts • Common Decision Framework • Central Information • Base information • Real time information • Simulation capability • Uniform data standards

  8. Overview of the Model • Strategic • Management Objectives • Ecology based • Tactical • Preparedness and Response • Reporting and Data Update

  9. Strategic • Interdisciplinary • Ecological • Use as appropriate

  10. Tactical and Reporting

  11. Architecture

  12. CWPP Handbook • “Preparing a Community Wildfire Protection Plan A Handbook for Wildland-Urban Interface Communities” • http://www.safnet.org/policyandpress/cwpp.cfm

  13. CWPP Eight Steps • Step One - Convene decision makers • Step Two - Involve Federal Agencies • Step Three - Engage Interested Parties • Step Four - Establish a community basemap • Step Five - Develop a community risk assessment • Step Six - Establish community priorities and recommendations • Step Seven - Develop an action plan and assessment strategy • Step Eight - Finalize CWPP

  14. 5 Step Overview • Step 5A – Fuel Hazard • Step 5B – Risk of Wildfire Occurrence • Step 5C – Homes, Businesses and Essential Infrastructure at Risk • Step 5D – Other Community Values at Risk • Step 5E – Local Preparedness and Firefighting capability • Combined Output

  15. CWPP Model • Step Five of the CWPP Handbook: • Fuel Hazard • Risk of Ignition • Essential Values at Risk • Other Values at Risk (optional) • Local Preparedness and Firefighting Capability

  16. What is provided • http://arcscripts.esri.com/details.asp?dbid=13963 • Models • Personal GeoDB – Sample Data • Help file

  17. GeoAccounting System • Treat changes in vegetation and fuels as geographically aware transactions • Example transactions: • Prescribed Fire • Wildland Fire • Insect & Disease • Fuels reduction projects • Information Systems must be able track these transactions • LANDFIRE will reconcile the books • How will the books be maintained after LANDFIRE?

  18. GeoAccounting System Example – Hayman Fire 2002 • Approximately 140,000 acres • Prescribed and previous wildfires altered fire characteristics • Turkey Creek • High Meadow • Buffalo • Schoonover fire (month earlier) • Polehemus burn (year earlier) • Were response personnel able to call upon this data in real time from existing information systems?

  19. ArcGIS Server Overview • Full implementation of GIS capabilities in an enterprise server architecture • For building focused, server-based GIS solutions • Integrated with the ArcGIS platform • ArcGIS Server = ArcObjects on a server

  20. Forest StewardshipWebDET A standardized approach for private land forest management planning • Business requirements • Web based data entry tool for creating Stewardship Plans • Web based tool to track all State forestry activities • Utilize existing standards where they exist • Meet minimum standards across all states • Maintain spatial relationships with geo-political attributes
