Data

The WFDSS application is "data rich". It requires spatially oriented data and graphically displays information to assist the fire managers and analysts in making strategic decisions for fire incidents. Due to the type and number of interagency spatial data sets required, an interagency GIS Team was formed to provide data support for WFDSS.

A new version of WFDSS has started, for more information please visit the WFM RDA website. 

Cables

The following are the cable lengths of the sensors maintained by the BLM RAWS Depot. Please configure your sensors to meet these lengths in order to keep the Depot contract cost to a minimum.

Sensors and key components of a Remote Automatic Weather Station (RAWS) station must be recalibrated or replaced on a regular basis to ensure the collection of consistent and reliable weather data. The Remote Sensing / Fire Weather Support Unit (RSFWSU) depot located in Boise, Idaho provides technical calibration, repair, and administrative support for these sensors and key components used throughout the RAWS interagency network.

This page contains examples of posters and PocketCards that have been developed by different units. Ideas such as those included today promote creativity and communication using PocketCards.
