Advancing Wildland Fire Information Technology with IRWIN Development

IRWIN (Integrated Reporting of Wildland Fire Information) is a system designed to streamline data entry, enhance data consistency, and provide authoritative operational data for managing wildland fires. It emphasizes interoperable solutions, reducing complexity for users. Special focus areas include managing data across applications, historical fire occurrence data review, data standardization, and more efficient data entry processes.

2. Context for IRWIN development Wildland Fire I&T What is IRWIN? Current development phase Development timeline Q&A 2

3. WILDLAND FIRE INFORMATION & TECHNOLOGY (WFI&T) MOU final signature August 1, 2012 Harris Sherman USDA Under Secretary Natural Resources and Environment Rhea Suh DOI Assistant Secretary Policy, Management and Budget Concurrence: Chief, USFS; Directors BIA, BLM, FWS, NPS, USGS; Administrator US Fire Administration

4. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? Interdepartmental process for managing Wildland Fire I&T investments Emphasis on Wildland Fire Business driving I&T solutions and services Solutions are interoperable and interconnected Reduce complexity to users

5. SPECIAL FOCUS AREAS National Computer Aided Dispatch Task team chartered Fast track effort recommended solution by mid- FY14 Reviewing previous work (2008 Dispatch Study, etc) Validating, updating business requirements A CAD needs to do this because Dispatch and management perspectives Consideration of overall IT portfolio capabilities Considering national standards or a single application

6. SPECIAL FOCUS AREAS Data Management Program Charter being developed Tasked with managing data across all applications Includes review of historical fire occurrence data, aka Final Fire Reports Identification of Authoritative Data Sources Management of Data Element and Geospatial Data Layer Standards Goal: Simplify data entry and maintenance requirements for the field while providing more consistent, timely, and reliable data

7. WHAT IS IRWIN? I Integrated R Reporting of W Wildland-Fire In Information Reduce redundant data entry Increase data consistency Provide authoritative operational data Speed access to data in diverse source systems Chartered by DOI and USDA FS DOI is the managing agency Black Box Black Box orchestrates data exchange between applications 7

8. IRWIN Wildland Fire Wildland Fire Applications Applications IRWIN Operational Data IRWIN Operational Data Store Store Stakeholders Stakeholders Contributing and Contributing and Accessing Data Accessing Data IRWIN Dashboard IRWIN Dashboard and Reporting and Reporting Data Data exchange exchange between IRWIN and between IRWIN and other systems other systems FireCode FireCode Raw Data Raw Data Sit 209 Sit 209 Validated Data Validated Data WFDSS WFDSS Enterprise Enterprise Geospatial Portal Geospatial Portal (EGP) (EGP) Common Common Operating Picture Operating Picture Data Data query query from IRWIN IRWIN from Computer Aided Computer Aided Dispatch Dispatch Metadata Metadata Write Once, Use Often 8

9. DEVELOPMENT Five systems prototyped WildCAD (Refresh & CAD Integration Server) FireCode WFDSS Sit209 (Updated) Enterprise Geospatial Portal (EGP) 9

10. CAD (WILDCAD AS PROTOTYPE) When used, CAD is expected to be the Authoritative Data Source for basic incident data Fire Name, Discovery Date/Time, Initial Location, etc CADs will need a mechanism to submit initial incident data to IRWIN and/or request a FireCode Get FireCode button Conflict Resolution surfaced to dispatcher for resolution upon detection Example criteria:6hrs, mile, not from the same center 10

11. FIRECODE, WFDSS, SIT209 FireCode: FireCode: Goal is to request and receive a FireCode without leaving the CAD WFDSS/Sit209: WFDSS/Sit209: Incident data from IRWIN will be used to create new records using a drop down list in the application. Updates to data from Authoritative Data Sources (ADS) will be shared with all applications Example: If CAD is the ADS for Fire Name, it is the only place the Fire Name can be edited all other systems accept the name from CAD 11

12. ENTERPRISE GEOSPATIAL PORTAL (EGP) New FS application being developed with IRWIN Provides a geospatial presentation of IRWIN data Will present a map interface for Conflict Resolution Provides a Common Operating Picture Role based views: Incident, regional, national, executive summary, public 12

13. CURRENT DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE Development of IRWIN Data Base and exchange capabilities underway User Acceptance Testing planned for Fall 2013 Production planned for Spring 2014 Identifying next applications for prototyping in 2013 Additional CADs, ROSS, weather, NWCG Unit IDs, etc Repeat this basic process of prototyping, development and implementation of 4-7 applications each year through 2017 13
