Title:: THE DEVELOPMENT OF A REAL-TIME FOREST FIRE MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM L. Trevis, Dr. N. El-Sheimy

Document type:: Multivolume work

Structure type:: Chapter

International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Vol XXXV, Part B-YF. Istanbul 2004 should be specified as points, lines or polygons; however the current version of the COM limits fire line specifications to points only. 3.2.4 Manager's Toolbox: Using the tools in the Manager's Toolbox, the user can update user accounts, update database data, update user submitted fires and hotspots. Update User Accounts: This tool allows a manager to see information about the users who have accessed the site. Information about the users includes: ® their user status, « name and o Email. Only an existing manager can upgrade a general user to manager status. Similarly, only a managerial user can demote a user to general status or delete a user from the system. Database Management Tool: This tool is still under development. Once finished, this tool will allow users, with managerial status, to access or update the fire information database. Data in the fire information database will include fire weather information, provincial fuel type information and fire location information. User Submit Fires and Hotspots Tool: This application provides some tools for managing and monitoring fire and hotspot situations. Using these tools, managers can view the new fire information that has been submitted by other fire managers and edit or update information about fires as it becomes available. Wildfires and hotspots need quick response times. This system provides the manager with the ability to work on any computer at any time, and from any location. To ensure quick fire response times, the system will send an email to the fire managers the instant a user submits new fire or hotspot information to the system. In addition, having the detection software, reporting functions, fire simulation model and decision-making support tools available on the same website provides a seamless fire report and management tool that will help mitigate wildfire disasters. 4.0 CONCULSION AND FUTURE RESEARCH This research has the potential to greatly benefit fire managers in predicting and managing fires. The WMMS could help minimize suppression efforts by directing the supplies to the areas of active heat emissions via real-time thermal images and modeling techniques. As a result, this system could not only save time and money but also improve the safety of the ground based fire-fighters. This system will also be updated and improved as future versions of the Prometheus COM are released. Additional functions will also be created to supplement the Prometheus COM. Proposed functions will be designed to incorporate additional variables that affect fire behavior. Two additions are currently being researched. One addition will involve the incorporation a resource location/allocation function. The second addition is to include a danger vs. economic loss rating variables into the Prometheus model.
