Re: General Scoping Recommendations/Discussion: Initial thoughts on review paper shared by David Godwin - highlighting remote sensing methods/tech supporting wildland fire assessments; published April 30th, 2020. Great discussion of active fire VS fire effects mapping - tradeoffs of temporality vs resolution Interesting to consider potential geostationary satellite data as a resource - not sure if even viable/available in the SE FireMap "mission footprint"? May want to explore the referenced GEE algorithm for processing Landsat (8?) & Sentinel-2 data in scoping process. What type of machine learning, AI, neural network, etc., products out there could support an improved SE FireMap? Would it be sensible to consider potential integration of LIDAR, SAR, Optical fusion, etc. in training RS algorithms for SE FireMap?

Re: 2020.05.28 Scoping Webinar Discussion: Natureserve's project is an example of what the good map does not want to do. There is zero need to create another fire atlas. The minimal attributes was nice. In my experience users (viewers) of these datasets (or webmap) place trust in the person/organization who has compiled the data. They are there to see the data, not inspect it. Military Great example of an organization creating an authoritative dataset that needs to be leveraged. The graphs and pie charts were cool but I don't know if they would have any utility. I wasn't able to stick around for much of the Q and A but avoiding the kitchen sink cannot be understated. If you haven't reached out to the folks creating/running InFORM I encourage you to do so. Many of the federal agencies use this 'system' and depending on the outreach and lines of communication states do too.

Partner Engagement & Coordination: This discussion thread is available to help track outreach and feedback outside of the Technical Oversight Team. Please be specific with details to ensure appropriate context for potential follow-ups and sharing any feedback with the Scoping Vendor. Currently, the SERPPAS RX Fire Working Group is the primary platform for project updates. Once officially launched, the Landscape Partnership Portal's project page ( https://www.landscapepartnership.org/key-issues/wildland-fire/fire-mapping/regional-fire-mapping/se-firemap ) will be utilized to easily share news updates - currently under development with a target launch date of July 2020. The Southern Fire Exchange will also be hosting an informational webinar this summer to allow for secondary input and broader awareness amongst the fire community.

General Scoping Recommendations/Discussion: Current recommendations for Tall Timbers to investigate via scoping webinars are as follows: inFORM(https://in-form-nifc.hub.arcgis.com/, USGS BAECV, MTBS, active fire mapping applications.
