Glossary Term for Review

Date: April 26, 2023
Contact: Data Standards and Terminology Board (DSTB)

The Data Standards and Terminology Board is requesting feedback on the new term Incident Complexity Level.
The proposed definition is: The incident level established by completing an incident complexity analysis considering the level of difficulty, severity, or overall resistance the incident or event presents to incident management or support personnel as they work to manage it; a categorization that helps leaders compare one type of incident or event to another.  
Please review, share with your subgroups, and provide feedback as appropriate. The term will be out for review until May 26 , 2023.

Standardized use of FireNet by Geographic Areas and Incident Management Teams for the 2023 Fire Year

Date: April 17, 2023
Contact: Katy O'Hara and Nick Heller

The purpose of this memorandum is to reinforce FireNet as the recognized standard official electronic messaging and file collaboration system to support interagency wildland fire missions during the 2023 fire year. 
FireNet is the designated environment for conducting wildland fire operations, and as such, Incident Management Teams (IMTs), dispatch centers and other fire support operations must be using FireNet email, Teams, and SharePoint to the maximum extent possible.

NWCG Standards for Wildland Fire First Aid, PMS 560

Date: April 3, 2023
Contact: Emergency Medical Committee (EMC)

NWCG Standards for Wildland Fire First Aid establishes minimum standards for first aid for wildland fire environments. The intent of NWCG Standards for Wildland Fire First Aid is to address the gaps in traditional first aid courses and the wildland fire environment. NWCG Standards for Wildland Fire First Aid could be met through a variety of methods, including supplementing traditional first aid courses with existing resources or through development and utilization of wildland fire specific first aid training programs.  NWCG standards are interagency by design; however, the decision to adopt and utilize them is made independently by the individual member agencies.
