Fire-Climate-Society Model, v.1 (FCS-1)

Go to the tool!

What it is:

Fire-Climate-Society (FCS-1) is an online, spatially explicit strategic wildfire planning model with an embedded multi-criteria decision process that facilitates the construction of user-designed risk assessment maps under alternative climate scenarios and varying perspectives of fire probability and values at risk. more...

Potential Uses:

Ultimately the strategic model will address two needs: strategic planning using scenarios based on historic data to look at the past in order to plan for the future, and strategic management using current climate analogs to generate longer-term "what if" scenarios. The emphasis of the model will be on identifying areas with the highest probability of wildfire, and will be designed to enhance rather than replace local expertise.
