چکیده
DOROTHY ALBRIGHT Fire Response GIS Application Geographic information system (GIS) support for the Incident Command System (ICS) has been evolving over the past several years. The U.S. Forest Service and Firefighting Resources of California Organized for Potential Emergencies (FIRESCOPE) are spearheading an effort to create a standard approach to the problem. The result is an application designed to streamline the process to map and produce products for fire suppression. The application is a customized version of ARCVIEW, an off-the-shelf product widely used in the fire management community. A product suite of maps and reports has been developed that provides critical decision support tools for both field and command staff. This effort also will provide a platform for modeling programs such as FARSITE that require GIS inputs. Many agencies are involved in this effort, developing standardized framework data, fuel inventories, deployment protocols, and ICS position descriptions. Long-term goals also include integration of real-time infrared fire perimeter mapping.
