PMS 936-1

Export to the Progression GDB

There are a multitude of ways to create the Progression Map and to store the required perimeters. No one way is right or required, as long as the data and the resulting map follow GeoOps standards in naming, attribution, and structure.

However, following the best practices outlined here will allow for the greatest flexibility in the process and ease of data access and use.

The Wildfire Daily Fire Perimeter should be exported after every update, starting on day one. It is always easier to do immediately rather than searching through backups.

  1. From the Edit Project, select your incident’s Wildfire Daily Fire Perimeter in the Event Polygon layer.
  2. Export the selected Wildfire Daily Fire Perimeter.

  3. Save the Wildfire Daily Fire Perimeter as a feature classes to the Progression GDB preserves the Event Schema and allows for easily combining data. Ensure the date and time the perimeter was collected are saved in the name (part of the GeoOps Standard) and the attributes (PolygonDateTime, a required-when-applicable field in the Event Schema). This way the perimeter date is easily found from any interface and preserved if/when data is combined.

Updated NWCG Wildland Fire Risk and Complexity Assessment, PMS 236

Date: June 24, 2024
Contact: Incident and Position Standards Committee 

The June 2024 update of the NWCG Wildland Fire Risk and Complexity Assessment, PMS 236, is now available to meet the current needs for incident management typing.

The NWCG Wildland Fire Risk and Complexity Assessment should be used to evaluate firefighter safety issues, assess risk, and identify the appropriate incident management organization based on incident complexity. Assessing risk, determining incident complexity, and identifying an appropriate incident management organization is a subjective process based on examining a combination of indicators or factors, which can change over time.
