Effective GIS Data Sources for Wildland Fire Incident Response

This module aims to equip GIS technicians and responders with essential data sources for wildland fire incident response. It covers both connected and disconnected environments, providing an overview of pre-assembled data on local drives, downloadable web data, and internet map services. Participants will learn to prepare quick maps using various datasets including DEMs, topo maps, and vector data. Key sources include USGS Rapid Data Delivery, NRCS Geospatial Data Gateway, and numerous active fire mapping services. This training ensures efficient fire response operations through effective GIS data management.

  1. Finding GIS Data for Incident Response Sarah Hartsburg GIS Technician Sundance Consulting, Inc. for NPS Fire GIS sarah_hartsburg@contractor.nps.gov

  2. Module Objectives • Describe and provide a list of data sources for wildland fire incident response • Discuss data drive and overview of data on the drive • Demonstrate workflow for preparing to create a quick map using the data drive

  3. Data Sources for Wildland Fire Incident Response Connected Disconnected Pre-assembled data stored on local drives • Websites which allow for data to be downloaded • Internet map services • Pre-assembled data on local drives

  4. Data Sources for Connected Environments- Data Download Sites • USGS Rapid Data Delivery Site (RDDS): http://firedata.cr.usgs.gov/ • NRCS Geospatial Data Gateway: http://datagateway.nrcs.usda.gov/ • NIFC FTP site: ftp://ftp.nifc.gov/BASE_INFO/Statewide_GIS_Data/ • USTopo: http://nationalmap.gov/ustopo/index.html • FSTopo – USFS created Topo Maps: http://fsgeodata.fs.fed.us/rastergateway/states-regions/states.php

  7. Base Data - Pre-assembled Data Drives • DEMs • Internet Layer Files • Orthoimagery • Topo Maps • Vector Data • Google Earth Files • Other Maps

  8. Other Materials - Pre-assembled Data Drives In addition to base data the data drives also include: • Template incident folder • Sample incident maps • Training materials and job aids • ArcGIS software and utilities

  9. Template Incident Folder

  10. Demo – Using the Data Drive

  11. Copy the Template Incident Folder to Your Local Hard Drive and Re-name It

  12. In the Incident Folder, open the Projects Folder and Double click to open the Start.mxd

  13. Copy Any Imagery or Other Base Data to Your Incident Folder

  14. Add Any Other Base Data to Your Map and Save It Again
