[gis_info] Helping Out with PNW Wildfires

Wed Sep 6 18:06:53 PDT 2017

Hi Chris,

Have you looked into the capabilities of NASA RECOVER?  Regarding ease of use,  it is amazing! I was involved with this at Idaho Department of Lands.  The BLM is heavily involved and using this product for recovery efforts.  You can view the very successful fire projects from the following location:

If you have any questions about the project, please contact Keith Weber.

I hope this helps!

Best Regards,

Dixie Booker-Lair, GISP

Good point, Aaron.  Right now, at least down south, we're in a Catch-22.  Every incident could use GIS assistance, but those coordinating the efforts are stretched to the limit.  On Crater Lake's fires we are on our third team already.  I'll check around and see if I can find a contact here.  Thanks for the offer, Misty!

Also, it would helpful to them if you have a quick list of your qualifications ready to share.  Not a resume, just a quick list of any emergency experience/training you've had-- fire, floods, SAR, etc.-- and your general GIS experience.  Any other quals like botany, archaeology, hydrology, aviation, etc. would be useful as well.

All,

Please limit your requests to Bobbi as I'm certain she is extremely busy right now.

Thank you to all that want to assist,

Aaron

Hi Misty,

I work for the Office of Emergency Management.

I spoke with our public information officers.

They said to contact Bobbi Doan with ODF.

Here's her email contact info

Bobbi.j.doan at oregon.gov <mailto:Bobbi.j.doan at oregon.gov> 

She can at least point you in the right direction.

We appreciate your offer for assistance.

Thank you,

Aaron Paul

Does anyone know of any organizations or efforts to which I could lend a GIS/cartography hand in the fight against the regional wildfires? I’d love to chip in right now, apart from donating money to relief groups, and I’ve heard from a [very busy, very exhausted] firefighting friend that that sort of help could be used at the moment...just not sure where or how.

Thank you!
