• Monitoring wildland conditions can aid preparedness for active wildfire seasons• Numerous inputs
– Climate and weather – Fuels– Terrain– History
• Numerous federal, state and local agencies involved in effort
The need for predictive analytics

Multiple Programs• Observation and prediction
– Realtime Observation Monitor and Analysis Network (ROMAN)– Santa Ana Wildfire Threat Index (SAWTI)
• Forecasting and modeling– National Predictive Services Program– National Digital Forecast Database– Fire Area Simulator (FARSITE)
• Decisionmaking– Wildland Fire Management Research Development and
Application Program– Wildland Fire Decision Support System (WFDSS)
