SE FireMap Scoping Survey

Thank you for participating in this Survey! A thorough scoping process for the SE FireMap project is currently underway, investigating promising remote sensing (RS) products and leading fire tracking systems which may best support the development of this product. To ensure a thorough scoping process, this survey offers a platform for the fire community to share feedback and recommendations directly the project team.

The SE FireMap project will ultimately provide an improved, cohesive system to track fire activity ( prescribed fire and wildfire) on public and private lands across the Southeastern United States, filling a major gap in current fire science. It will serve as a critical decision support tool to maximize the effectiveness of fire management practices and help achieve the varied objectives of NRCS and its partners - such as keeping working lands working, restoring the longleaf pine ecosystem, supporting DoD’s military and training mission, conserving listed and at-risk species, managing for wildfire risk and air quality impacts, and minimizing the need to conserve species through regulation.

SE FireMap Scoping Survey

Question Title

* 1. Contact Information

Question Title

* 2. What agency/organization/stakeholder group do you represent?

Question Title

* 3. How important will it be for the SE FireMap to include fire history in the mapping product?

Question Title

* 4. If important, how many consecutive years of fire history data would be needed to assist with critical management decisions?

Question Title

* 5. What temporal resolution would you prefer the SE FireMap support? (How often the data need to be updated to address your questions)

Question Title

* 6. How important will it be for the SE FireMap to incorporate active fire detection?

Question Title

* 7. Considering the SE FireMap will be a remotely sensed product, what detection threshold do you consider an appropriate target to meet your needs? (minimum size of fire detected in product)

Question Title

* 8. The SE FireMap will consist of more than just a map. Thinking ahead to a decision support tool, what are the standard queries you would consider most important to support? Please Rank in order of importance.

Question Title

* 9. Were any reporting elements you see as critical not listed above?

Question Title

* 10. The goal of the SE FireMap is to track fire on both public and private lands - serving as a critical decision support tool. How important is it that the final product crosswalk with other fire tracking/ mapping systems?

Question Title

* 11. If important, what current fire tracking system do you believe should be prioritized for crosswalking? (Example: common attribution; compatible database structure, etc.) Current systems might include LANDFIRE, MTBS, InFORM, WFDSS, State Permitting Systems, or others.

Question Title

* 12. Are you familiar with any emerging mapping technology/system we should consider during the current SE FireMap scoping effort?

Question Title

* 13. If you familiar with any emerging mapping technology/system, please list a best point of contact for the mapping technology/system.
