Wildland Fire-Training: Education and training equips professionals to conduct wildland fire management safely and effectively, and ensures they are up to date on the latest information, research, regulations, and policies. A variety of wildland fire training resources are available from state and federal agencies, the Cooperative Extension Service, universities, and other entities.

Wildland Fire-Wildfire: The Southeast has a complex fire environment unlike any other in the nation. While fire has long played a critical role in the landscapes across the Southeast, it is becoming increasingly difficult for agencies, organizations, and landowners to plan for and respond effectively to wildfire, while protecting vulnerable communities and providing for firefighter safety. The Southeast leads the nation in the number of annual wildland fire events.

Wildland Fire-Prescribed Burning: Prescribed fire, also known as controlled burning, refers to the controlled application of fire to help restore health to fire-adapted environments, benefitting wildlife and timber values. Prescribed fire reintroduces the beneficial effects of fire into an ecosystem, producing the kinds of vegetation and landscapes we want, and reducing the hazard of catastrophic wildfire caused by excessive fuel buildup.

SE FireMap General Resources: General resources for the Southeast FireMap. Includes files and videos that relate the the FireMap as a whole.

SE FireMap 1.0 Resources: Resources related to the Southeast FireMap version 1.0. Includes technical fact sheet, product information, user guide, data use agreement, and introductory webinar.

SFE Webinar: Introduction to the SE FireMap 1.0 - A New Tool to Map Fires Across the South: The SE FireMap 1.0 is a new fire mapping system for the Southeastern United States. Developed with funding provided by the USDA NRCS, SE FireMap uses a remote sensing-based approach to track both prescribed fire and wildfire activity on public and private lands across the range of the longleaf pine.

SE FireMap Project Documents: Background documents include the original RFP stating the goals of the project, a final report resulting from the Scoping Phase where all current tools and products were assessed for applicability to the goals of the SE FireMap, and finally the current (2022-2025) joint proposal for the SE FireMap-Development Phase where lessons learned from the Scoping Phase as well as use of newly available satellite imagery will merge in a final SE FireMap Version 2.0 with much improved accuracy.

Feedback & Recommendations: Space to capture general feedback and recommendations.

General Recommendations & Feedback: This discussion space is intended to capture general feedback and discussion. This allows the project team to easily engage in a collaborative discussion space and summarize feedback.

General TOT Scoping Recommendations & Feedback: This discussion space is intended to capture general feedback and discussion relating to the SEFireMap project. This allows the project team to easily engage in a collaborative discussion space and summarize feedback.

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.
