Wildland Fire Decision Support System WFDSS __________________________________________________________________________________________________

Objectives: 1.Describe the Wildland Fire Decision Support System 2.Identify the multitude of support tools and when they might be utilized in developing decisions and implementing actions __________________________________________________________________________________________________

WFDSS is designed for documenting strategic decisions and to provide decision analysis on all types of wildland fires. _________________________________________________________________________________________________

WFDSS is designed meet federal agency policy. “Managers will use a decision support process to guide and document wildfire decisions. The process will provide situational assessment, analyze hazards and risk, define implementation actions, and document decisions and rationale for those decisions.” (2009 Policy Guidance) _________________________________________________________________________________________________

When a WFDSS decision is needed: Wildland fires are no longer following the initial action defined by the Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) or the Fire Management Plan (FMP) Fire continues to actively spread beyond a few burn periods Fires are being managed or considered for multiple objectives Prescribed fire exceed prescriptions and are declared wildfires _________________________________________________________________________________________________

WFDSS is a web based system allowing simultaneous multiple users _________________________________________________________________________________________________

WFDSS is designed to be consistent with accepted models of risk-informed decision making _________________________________________________________________________________________________

Risk-informed decision making 1.Analysis: Rigorous, replicable methods to provide information about factual questions Brings new information into the process – informs deliberation 2. Deliberation: Discussion, reflection, and persuasion to communicate, raise, and collectively consider issues, increase understanding, and facilitate substantive decisions. Brings new insights, questions, and problem formulations – frames analysis. _________________________________________________________________________________________________

Your Role in WFDSS Provide Intelligence and Feedback Observed fire behavior and severity Fuel conditions Proximity of natural and man made barriers Hazards, safety concerns Values Probability for successful implementation of strategic plans _________________________________________________________________________________________________
