Status
The SE FireMap project will ultimately provide an improved, cohesive system to track fire activity (prescribed fire and wildfire) on public and private lands across the Southeastern United States, filling a major gap in current fire science. It will serve as a critical decision support tool to maximize the effectiveness of fire management practices and help achieve the varied objectives of NRCS and its partners - such as keeping working lands working, restoring the longleaf pine ecosystem, supporting DoD’s military and training mission, conserving listed and at-risk species, managing for wildfire risk and air quality impacts, and minimizing the need to conserve species through regulation.
Scoping Phase
The SE FireMap's Scoping Phase is currently underway with a tentative completion date of November 2020.
