Status of FFPI Development
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
CNRFC FFG Comparison
FFPI based griddedNWSRFS Derived
USES: FFPI to increase spatial variability in gridded FFG
FFPI: Potential Operational Applications
