• Treat changes in vegetation and fuels as geographically aware transactions– Example transactions:
• Prescribed Fire• Wildland Fire• Insect & Disease• Fuels reduction projects
• Information Systems must be able track these transactions
• LANDFIRE will reconcile the books– How will the books be maintained after
