Beginning today, drafts of new statewide wildfire hazard and wildland-urban interface (WUI) maps are available for public input.     🗓️ View the maps via the Oregon Explorer: https://beav.es/pAg    📧 All public comments should be directed to the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) by Aug 18, 2024, via email: hazardmap@odf.oregon.gov    The wildfire hazard map was mandated by Senate Bill 762’s $220M bipartisan legislative package in 2021 to improve wildfire preparedness. Developed by OSU researchers, these maps are based on current science and the best available data. This multi-year effort involved partner agencies (ODF, Oregon State Fire Marshal, Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services), fire modeling experts, local subject matter experts, advisory committees, and stakeholders.    To learn more, visit: https://beav.es/pAL

Do you know how to prepare your family & home for the next California wildfire? California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE)'s Ready for Wildfire app can help. Head to the link below, answer a few questions & get a personalized checklist with the RIGHT actions to take. 🔗 plan.readyforwildfire.org #WildfirePreparednessWeek #wildfireseason #wildfireprevention

#CaliforniaWatch | The #ParkFire has now grown to become the largest #California #Wildfire since 2021, and the eighth largest wildfire in recorded state history. The Park Fire has burned over 307,000 acres (480 square miles), and has consumed at least an additional 4,000-5,000 acres every hour. Some burn rate estimates are higher. At this point, containment of the fire is 0%. A fire this size with no containment is a rarity for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE). That is not a criticism. This is a very difficult fire to get in front of fast enough with sufficient resources. Multiple attempts to keep the fire from jumping roadways have been unsuccessful. Fortunately, the fire is not currently threatening any cities or interstate highways, but that could change. Multiple evacuations have been ordered as a precaution. As an indication of how serious this fire is, CAL FIRE typically only has one incident management team (IMT) assigned to the more serious fires. They have two on this one. IMT #3 was activated to respond the Park Fire Thursday, and IMT #4 was just activated last night to assist. There are now nearly 2,500 personnel assigned to fighting this single fire. No word on any Army National Guard activations as of yet, but we're standing by should we be needed to assist. That's what we do. You can find more information on the fire at CAL FIRE webpage at https://lnkd.in/gBmb29eX. "Always Ready, On The Way!"

Heading out for training on cutting fire lines on the fringes of Camp Pendleton with California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE)! Dozers are a critical tool in the forest firefighting arsenal. Not only do they help crews access fires, but they can help contain them by cutting fire lines like this one. Fires need fuel—which usually comes from decaying trees, brush, or grass. By using dozers to remove the fuel strategically, CALFIRE crews can stop fires from spreading. Every year, before fire season, all dozer crews train in real-world scenarios before they’re quite literally in the line of fire. #betterdirtworld

Early detection and rapid intelligence delivery won't stop fires from starting, but has a significant impact on keeping small fires from becoming major incidents. In this clip from a California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) flyover earlier this year, our TK Smart Sensor detects a small fire along a busy highway and produces an easy-to-share KML file of the perimeter within seconds of passing over the area. This capability is exponentially more valuable in remote or more sparsely-populated, where humans are much less likely to be a rapid source of early reporting.

A slope map is a type of map that displays the steepness or gradient of the terrain in a particular area. It uses a color gradient or contour lines to represent the varying degrees of slope. It can help identify areas with gentle slopes, which may be suitable for farming, or areas with steep slopes, which are prone to erosion or landslides. #GISMapping #googleearthengine #gis #aspect #slope #bestgistutorials https://lnkd.in/dbP9NHGZ

This recent data from California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) highlights the differences between imaging wildfires with different spectral band sensors, and the superior tactical advantage of having access to data across all bands simultaneously, in real-time, with Overwatch Imaging's Smart Sensor technology. We're honored to partner with with Cal Fire as a cutting-edge technology provider supporting the agency's world-leading #wildfire and disaster response efforts. #wildfire #wildland #aerialfirefighting #firefighting #emergencyresponse #wildfireprevention #initialattack #aerialimagery #aerialmapping #multispectral #thermalimaging Western Fire Chiefs Association California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) Oregon Department of Forestry NSW Rural Fire Service ARIA Firefighting AEVEX Aerospace
