• GIS support duringfire incidents
• Assess damage
• Supply GIS data library to incident planning ops
• Timely imagery provided by USFS EROS - International Charter on Space and Major Disasters
Fire Incident Support

• Expected likelihood ofburning & fire behavior characteristics, aggregated into classified zones
• Spatial data & process rules(fuels, topography, weather,etc)
• Forms basis of fire safety laws & requirements for hazard disclosure for real estate transfers
Fire Hazard Mapping
![Page 5: How GIS is Used by CAL FIRE (Rebecca Ferkovich )](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568164d8550346895dd719e2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Goal: Reduce costs/lossesfrom wild land fire throughFire Prevention & Pre-FirePlanning Activities
• GIS use: Identify neededprojects, map/summarizeexisting project data, reportaccomplishments, evaluate values at risk, etc
• Cal MAPPER – for Fire Planners – v1/2/3
CA Fire Plan

• State Responsibility Area Fire Prevention Benefit Fee (AB X1 29)- July 2011
• Annual fee - habitablestructures within SRA
• Requires quality statewide SRA data that supports parcel level “in or out” decisions
SRA Fees

• Statewide Assessment requiredevery 5 years - used to inform policy and rule making
• Priority Landscapes –weighted overlays of assets and threats
• Map Viewer online – http://frap.cdf.ca.gov/ priority/default.html
Forest & Rangeland Assessments

• Spatial data capture / analysis from initial project review through final completion of timber harvesting
• Supports regulatory process, delivers info, informs public
• Custom maps & web resources(ex: Watershed Mapper – http://egis.fire.ca.gov/watershed_mapper/)
Forest Practice

• Submissions received by regulated pipeline operators, updated and maintained by GIS Analyst
• Positional accuracy of ~100’ (vs. national ~500’)
• Uses: Emergency response; track/analyze PS response to CalOES spill notifications; risk-based analysis for inspections
