The purpose of this cluster is to help us define the future as we open the doors to open wildfire science and proactive solutions in wildfire management. The newly formed ESIP Wildfire Cluster invites your input to help us define the future of wildfire management. We anticipate providing an area for conversation and networking that would initially serve two key stakeholder communities:
- Any community working with wildland and prescribed fires for proactive solutions in management including Wildland Firefighters, Fire District Chiefs, Fire practitioners, Land managers and even communities – to evolve the wildfire cluster to see how we can address key issues related to the use of geospatial products, remote sensing, AI, ML and technologies that can guide their decision making or introduce new approaches that can assist them.
- Any agency or organization focusing on wildland fire management that can benefit from an ESIP community that shares an interest in applying technology and ideas that result in building something together or coming up with new technological priorities or approaches that the ESIP community could help define around how trusted wildfire data and information can be applied to proactive management of wildland and prescribed fire
The ESIP Wildfire Cluster will be open and inclusive with the goal of bringing together interested members of the community to produce ideas and potential GIS-related products that can be derived from remote sensing platforms, in situ observations or model data, that could address priorities identified by fire districts and other practitioners across the nation beginning with a Fire District in CA. This cluster will also invite members of NASA’s Wildland Fire Management Program, NOAA, USFS and state agencies to participate on occasion and be a part of the conversations.
The cluster will also look to leverage the ESIP Ecosystem of Innovation developed by the Disaster Lifecycle Cluster (DLC) to see if it is applicable in addressing Wildfire Cluster priorities and placing any prototype products in front of real decision makers that are in a position to be involved in proactive management of wildfires. In addition, the wildfire cluster will look to collaborate with other relevant ESIP clusters to build upon the excellent work and conversations that occur every month during their respective meetings and to make sure there is no duplication of efforts. (For example, the Air Quality Cluster is working on approaches to communicate air quality information to the public. Since wildfires produce unhealthy air quality, we would work with the Air Quality Cluster to implement what they are learning).
