Wildland Fire: The Wildland Fire site within the Landscape Partnership portal serves as a clearinghouse to support technical experts as a community of practice, currently focused on the southern states. This site links individuals and diverse groups with the information each maintains on wildland fire on their respective internet sites, and our hope is that we will send more traffic to our partners' sites. Our purpose is to increase connectivity and information sharing within the larger fire community but also between the fire community of practice and other landscape conservation practitioners using the Landscape Conservation Portal. The Wildland Fire site will also support public officials, landowners, and communities needing more information about wildland fire.

SE FireMap: Accurately tracking and understanding wildland fire patterns across the Southeastern U.S. is a critical need identified by a consortium of conservation partners. The SE FireMap is a new product developed in 2020-21 to meet these needs, and funded by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service's Working Lands for Wildlife program under an agreement with the U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities.

SE FireMap 2.0 Team Workspace: This is a private workspace for the SE FireMap Development Team

Wildland Fire-Training: Education and training equips professionals to conduct wildland fire management safely and effectively, and ensures they are up to date on the latest information, research, regulations, and policies. A variety of wildland fire training resources are available from state and federal agencies, the Cooperative Extension Service, universities, and other entities.

Wildland Fire-Wildfire: The Southeast has a complex fire environment unlike any other in the nation. While fire has long played a critical role in the landscapes across the Southeast, it is becoming increasingly difficult for agencies, organizations, and landowners to plan for and respond effectively to wildfire, while protecting vulnerable communities and providing for firefighter safety. The Southeast leads the nation in the number of annual wildland fire events.

Wildland Fire-Prescribed Burning: Prescribed fire, also known as controlled burning, refers to the controlled application of fire to help restore health to fire-adapted environments, benefitting wildlife and timber values. Prescribed fire reintroduces the beneficial effects of fire into an ecosystem, producing the kinds of vegetation and landscapes we want, and reducing the hazard of catastrophic wildfire caused by excessive fuel buildup.

SFE Webinar: Introduction to the SE FireMap 1.0 - A New Tool to Map Fires Across the South: The SE FireMap 1.0 is a new fire mapping system for the Southeastern United States. Developed with funding provided by the USDA NRCS, SE FireMap uses a remote sensing-based approach to track both prescribed fire and wildfire activity on public and private lands across the range of the longleaf pine.

Feedback & Recommendations: Space to capture general feedback and recommendations.

General Recommendations & Feedback: This discussion space is intended to capture general feedback and discussion. This allows the project team to easily engage in a collaborative discussion space and summarize feedback.

General TOT Scoping Recommendations & Feedback: This discussion space is intended to capture general feedback and discussion relating to the SEFireMap project. This allows the project team to easily engage in a collaborative discussion space and summarize feedback.

Partner Engagement & Coordination: This discussion thread is available to help track outreach and feedback outside of the Technical Oversight Team. Please be specific with details to ensure appropriate context for potential follow-ups and sharing any feedback with the Scoping Vendor. Currently, the SERPPAS RX Fire Working Group is the primary platform for project updates. Once officially launched, the Landscape Partnership Portal's project page ( https://www.landscapepartnership.org/key-issues/wildland-fire/fire-mapping/regional-fire-mapping/se-firemap ) will be utilized to easily share news updates - currently under development with a target launch date of July 2020. The Southern Fire Exchange will also be hosting an informational webinar this summer to allow for secondary input and broader awareness amongst the fire community.

Re: Partner Engagement & Coordination: RE: July 23rd TOT Meeting Jim Smith Mon, Jul 27, 1:05 PM (1 day ago) I wanted to provide another set of contacts….we have to stop looking at some point but I leave that decision up to you. Tom Spencer, Texas Forest Service: was (and may still be) the lead on the Southern Risk Assessment portal. tspencer@tfs.tamu.edu Danny Lee, USFS, Lead for the Southern Forest Threat Assessment Center in Asheville. Danny.c.lee@usda.gov Danny contracts a lot with Jim Fox at UNC Asheville has a lot of “data contacts” around the SE. jfox@nemacfernleaf.com Jim ---------------------------------------------------------- James L. Smith, Ph.D. TNC LANDFIRE Program Lead 904.327.0055 (cell/office) jim_smith@tnc.org 1822 Swiss Oaks Street St. Johns, FL 32259-9096

Re: General Scoping Recommendations/Discussion: #7/23/2020 Tall Timbers Interim Report Notes # SE FireMap Scoping INT REP 2.pdf How are you spatially assigning active fire detections with burned area products? This requires a lot of processing, so efficiency is key. How did you tag active fire detections with FFS OBA? FMT code that estimates burn severity breakpoints could be easily re-written for GEE. # Questions for call # Are there any gaps or proposed modifications we should consider? Could TTRS potentially create some kind of a fire probability layer? This could be done by examining convergence of all fire detections or potentially by assigning probability to the modelling process. How could TTRS improve the fire modeling process? # What do we like and what do we think is missing? I really the like the multi-faceted approach in considering many data sources that TTRS has considered. How does TTRS get around some of the modeling limitations of BA product? Using their own modeled products? How does TTRS get around the inherent problems with the prescribed fire data records? Can they start using area burned as a way to narrow down the fire location? # How can TTRS improve the scoping process? Share their proposed processing or actual processing schemas. It would be nice to see the details.
