Status of FFPI Development Completed ABQ: Albuquerque FGZ: Flagstaff GJT: Grand Junction PSR: Phoenix RSA: CNRFC SLC: Salt Lake TWC: Tucson VEF: Las Vegas July 2007 ABQ: Albuquerque FWR: WGRFC RNK: Roanoke/Blacksburg SGF: Springfield, MO July-August 2007 AFG: Fairbanks HFO: Honolulu SJU: San Juan, PR AHPS supported test sites
2007 Progress / Goals Summer 2007 (and beyond) Evaluation Deliver FFPI & Best practices decision tree to AHPS test sites Analysis, Evaluation, & recommendations by AHPS test sites Display Options ArcView/ArcGIS – D2D – working on porting to GFE Account for Wildfire (event based dynamic) Meetings with USFS RSAC regarding application of burn severity information Discussions/MOU with USFS RSAC to acquire burn severity information
2007 Progress / Goals Precipitation / Soil Moisture Component (dynamic product) Distributed model output (driven by MPE) – test later this summer NWSRFS or Direct MPE output FFPI Modifications Re-evaluate number of FFPI categories Re-issue FFPI for existing sites using finer resolution data / Basin Level Complete FF event database – correlate FFPI/FF events
USES: FFPI to increase spatial variability in gridded FFG CNRFC FFG Comparison FFPI based gridded NWSRFS Derived
FFPI: Potential Operational Applications Account For Wildfire
