  1. GIS On Fire • Hosted by the Coeur d’Alene Tribe and funded by the USGS and BIA

  2. Thanks You • We greatly appreciate all of you breaking away from your busy schedules to come here. • USGS and BIA • Josh Arnold for working out the details

  3. Who are you? • 18: Natural Resource managers (I.e. Foresters, Biologists) • 20: GIS - Geo Science folks • 13: Fire – Fuels folks • Have people give introductions

  4. So why are we here? • To bring together both the Fire people and GIS people into the same room • Share knowledge and experiences • Make new contacts • Provide better tools • Provide needed solutions

  5. What are we going to do? • Some of you took the ArcGIS class Monday and Tuesday • You should have an agenda for the next three days. • Business dinner tonight • Friday – will be a step by step of the processing here at CDA in the lab

  6. Projects in 27 states

  7. Native American ProgramEROS Data Center • Landscape characterization • Fire Sciences • Training • Intern program • Data distribution

  8. Washington-Idaho-Coeur d’Alene Tribe • Tribal and USGS staff exchanged data to support each other’s GIS projects • The Coeur d’Alene Tribe provided hydrography and road data in the TNM pilot • Further cooperation involves Tribal Names, improved data, data serving from Tribe, and the wildfire application • Sensitive Tribal data exclusions coordinated by Tribal GIS

  9. LANDFIRE A Combined USFS-DOI Approach to National Fire Fuels Assessment

  10. FARSITE Layers Historical Fire Regimes Vegetation type Fire regime condition class Structural stages LANDscape and FIRE management system (since March 2002) Satellite Mapping + Ecological modeling Forest fuels

  11. The Idea for the Workshop is Born • Coeur d’Alene Tribe – coordination • USGS (EROS and Western Region via Boise Office) • Portland BIA Office

  12. Coeur d’Alene Project • Multi Phased Project • Started with Structure mapping for defensible space three years ago • Fuels mapping project • Throughout the next two days you will see parts of each of these fire related projects

  13. What makes this any different than any other project • Great number of software to master • Great number of potential way to create data layers • Great amount of data to manage

  14. Complex Data Needs Plot Data (CFI) Firemon Coarse Woody Debris Fuel Model Vegetation Crown Base Height Crown Bulk Density Canopy Cover Duff Loading LiDAR Elevation Slope Aspect * FARSITE Inputs

  15. Complex Tool Data Management Remote Sensing Firemon ERDAS IMAGINE Microsoft Access Cubist See5 GIS Fire Models FlamMap ArcGIS Microsoft SQL Server FARSITE

  16. Conclusion • Wildland Fire modeling is a very complex beast • Here on the Coeur d’Alene we have beat our heads against the monitor a fair amount to come up with some solutions • However I strongly feel that those of you in the room today have even more innovative solutions. • We hope that this meeting will be a great learning opportunity for everyone involved

  17. Have a good meeting Frank Roberts Fmroberts@cdatribe-nsn.gov
