R5 FAM GIS Base Data
2015 SARGIS7
Fire & Aviation Management Lorri Peltz-Lewis, USFS R5 FAM GIS Coordinator,
Incident Support – the equipment & pre-staging (North & South Ops):
FINALLY new plotters for
2015!!
GISS Hard Drives: Vision:
•Make it simple
•Usable by all – suppression, planning, restoration
•Theme based approach
•Keep it current
•Layer files
•Metadata
FAM GIS Lab Data – Fire Data Stewardship & Support:
•Fire uses & consumes all imagery, all roads, parcels, ownership, etc. •Fire Retardant Avoidance – Hydrology, Threatened, Endangered, Sensitive species •Fire Perimeters & History (Standards – USFS & NIFC) •Fire Occurrence/Ignitions – Point of Origin (Standards – USFS, NIFC, CAL FIRE) •Fire Management Units (FMU) (Standards – USFS & NIFC) •Fire Base Stations •Direct Protection Areas (DPA) – All federal agency protection areas •Aviation Hazards (Standards – USFS & NIFC) •Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) (Standards – USFS & NIFC) •Fire Engine Water Sources (Standards – USFS & NIFC) •Burned Area Emergency Response/Rehabilitation •Fire Ecology / Fire Severity Atlas / RAVG/Burn Severity •Landscape data & Fuels – Strategic Decision Support •Emergency response could use many other datasets….
GISS Hard Drive
• Version 3 update as of September. • Federal Teams & CAL FIRE first priority • Final size 1.26 TB • Annual updates completed in April • Return end of May • Intended for Federal, State, Local, & non-profits

Tour of Inventory spreadsheet:
Open Inventory XLS and search (CTRL+F) for:
•Fire Retardant Avoidance
•Survey or PLSS or TRS
•Roads
•Topos
•Streams
•Etc….
Converting USGS GeoPDFs to GeoTIFFs:
• Old USGS quads are 60+ years old • New USGS quads ArcMap can’t open without specialized extension • Goal: Convert all GeoPDFs to GeoTiffs for use on All Hazards • Global Mapper – script to remove forest tint, clip to quad boundary,
no imagery, no hillshade.
California, Nevada and Oregon reprocessed in 2015
Status USGS GeoPDFs to GeoTIFFs:
Converting USGS GeoPDFs to GeoTIFFs: Available NOW – USGS Hazards Data Distribution System (HDDS) - http://hddsexplorer.usgs.gov/ How to tip sheet available! Reprocessed data not loaded yet.
Mobile Technology Activities
• Supporting GPS devices – Garmin, Trimble, etc.
• IOS and Android mobile devices – multiple
apps being used – Avenza (PDFMaps), ForeFlight, iGIS, Gaia, etc – supporting as needed
• QR code enabling – all links going to new NIFC FTP server
• AGOL – working with Teams & Management as they pick this up and the lab has staff to support.
Aviation Hazards Maps – all available on line in 2015 – THANK-YOU Forest GIS:
Web, iOS, & Android usable – tip sheet(s) available:
Aviation Hazards
• New product for 2015:
