The COVID-19 Incident Risk Assessment Tool is designed as a decision support tool, to help fire managers assess risks to firefighter health and workforce capacity. More importantly, this tool can help identify mitigation measures within the scope of control in order to minimize exposure and risk and to track changes in risk as an incident progresses.
To aid in the use of the tools instructional videos are available, see the links below:

LANDFIRE is looking for data to help update and improve our existing vegetation and wildland fuel products.
The primary focus of this data call is to collect FY 2020 disturbance and treatment activities. Disturbance and treatment data from 2017-2019 that were not previously submitted to LANDFIRE or other National Authoritative databases, are also welcome. The secondary focus is to collect both vegetation/fuel plot data and invasive species polygons or plots.
The data submission deadline is November 30, 2020. Please make every effort to submit your data by November 30, as LANDFIRE is relying heavily on user contributed data for this update. LANDFIRE is transitioning back to an update schedule after being focused on LF 2016 Remap. LANDFIRE is asking for data to be submitted earlier than in the past to help facilitate the production of annually updated products with a goal of data release before June of each year. This transition may take a couple of years to reach recognizing that several disturbance years (2017-2020) need to be cataloged and processed.
