Who is a FEMS User Interface target audience?

A FEMS UI user is basically anyone interested in viewing real time fire danger information. Specifically, the target audience includes dispatchers, operational fire fighters, FMOs, agency supervisors, FBANs/LTANs, and Predictive Services.

The following datasets will be stored as part of the FEMS/Data Cache effort:

- Historical RAWS data

- 2.5km Gridded Weather Data (rolling 30 year archive)

- National Fuel Moisture Database

Due to lack of use, the IROC course training materials are no longer being updated. The materials are still available in the archives and can be found under the KBA's and QRC's in the DMT if needed. Please review the IROC Quick Reference Cards and Videos, via the link below, which entail the materials outlined in the training guides. If you have questions, please reach out to Cheryl.Dickson@usda.gov.

2016 KMZ files are now available for BIA, BOR, BLM and NPS. Right click on the files and save to the desktop. Open GoogleEarth and then open the files.

Notice: These fire occurrence KMZ files are intended for use with GoogleEarth. While the files can be opened with Google Maps, it is not recommended, as Google Maps has a display limit of (approximately) 1000 points.

Please be patient when opening these large KMZ files in GoogleEarth - they can take a few minutes to load and display.
