on Incidents
• Originally published by NWCG in 2006 • 2012 GSTOP Field Review • 2013 GSTOP DRAFT completed & awaiting
NWCG approval• 2013 S-341 class content changes• Final publication will change GISS PTB• http://gis.nwcg.gov
GSTOP – Chapter 7 - Data Archiving and Sharing
• Specifications state: The primary datasets that need to be shared on a daily basis are the fire perimeter and fireline data layers.
• Post these data on a designated ftp site (e.g., ftp://ftp.nifc.gov) or Web site.
• Many applications and sites depend on this: www.geomac.gov, www.inciweb.org,
+ many within the fire community
