荒地火灾管理者越来越多地接受风险管理原则，变得更有预见性、更主动，并且“在火灾发生前就将其扑灭”。这需要与合作伙伴和利益相关者一起投资季前、跨界、战略性火灾应对规划，以建立对野火风险和管理机会的共同理解。规划中的一项关键创新是制定潜在的行动界限（POD），即其边界与火灾遏制行动（例如道路、山脊顶部和燃料转换）相关的空间管理单元，并且可以在其中分析潜在的火灾后果、扑灭机会/挑战和战略响应目标，为火灾管理决策提供信息。截至 2020 年夏季，POD 已在涵盖美国西部国家森林系统土地的 40 多个景观上开发，为规划、沟通、缓解优先级和事件响应策略制定提供了实用工具。在此，我们回顾了决策支持工具（POD Atlas）的开发，旨在通过提供有关景观条件、风险价值和各个 POD 火灾管理资源需求的高分辨率信息，促进跨界、协作的战略野火规划和管理。借助该图集，用户可以以可定制的方式快速访问和吸收多种形式的预加载数据和分析。我们与美国落基山脉南部几个国家森林的消防管理人员一起设计并运行了该工具的原型并供其使用。我们展示示例，讨论现实世界的用例，并强调持续改进决策支持的机会。
Wildland fire managers are increasingly embracing risk management principles by being more anticipatory, proactive, and “engaging the fire before it starts”. This entails investing in pre-season, cross-boundary, strategic fire response planning with partners and stakeholders to build a shared understanding of wildfire risks and management opportunities. A key innovation in planning is the development of potential operational delineations (PODs), i.e., spatial management units whose boundaries are relevant to fire containment operations (e.g., roads, ridgetops, and fuel transitions), and within which potential fire consequences, suppression opportunities/challenges, and strategic response objectives can be analyzed to inform fire management decision making. As of the summer of 2020, PODs have been developed on more than forty landscapes encompassing National Forest System lands across the western USA, providing utility for planning, communication, mitigation prioritization, and incident response strategy development. Here, we review development of a decision support tool—a POD Atlas—intended to facilitate cross-boundary, collaborative strategic wildfire planning and management by providing high-resolution information on landscape conditions, values at risk, and fire management resource needs for individual PODs. With the atlas, users can rapidly access and assimilate multiple forms of pre-loaded data and analytics in a customizable manner. We prototyped and operationalized this tool in concert with, and for use by, fire managers on several National Forests in the Southern Rocky Mountains of the USA. We present examples, discuss real-world use cases, and highlight opportunities for continued decision support improvement.
