The Wildland Fire Assessment System (WFAS) is an integrated, web-based resource that provides comprehensive fire weather and fire potential information to support fire management decisions. With a nationwide user base of federal, state, and local land managers, WFAS offers multi-temporal and multi-spatial views of fire danger classes, fuel moistures, and drought indices, as well as lower atmospheric stability and satellite-derived vegetation conditions. The system is currently undergoing revisions to enhance existing products and incorporate higher resolution data for more localized applications.
WFAS is dedicated to refining its offerings and increasing the utility of spatial data products, such as gridded surface meteorology and MODIS satellite data. These revisions will enable users to access internet mapping services and resolve spatial products to specific regions of interest. With its planned changes, WFAS aims to support fire management decisions at national, regional, and local levels, providing valuable insights for effective wildfire prevention and response.
