 NO SENSITIVE data or inappropriate stuff! If it is found the entire site will be shut down.
 IAP’s are sensitive. Post these to GACC_Support folder.
 No Changes expected this year, but we will go to individual IDs, or whole new system (DOJ).
Resource Tracking – SPOT GPS devices to track dispatch office resource, contract equipment, or ICs.
 35 units have been established at the WAW Dispatch office, 5 for Team 2.
 Google Map web site to track these GPS units, or notify when help is needed
ITEAM – Incident only EERAs can be established/tracked using ITEAM. Contact me for user guide.
Adopt a Team – Each agency has agreed to support the IM Teams for IT hardware and software. Our
teams have met their IT needs through the BBS Plan (Beg, Borrow, or Steal).
 Goals: 1) provide adequate technology to the teams. 2) standardize team kits
 $10k this year, $5k each year after.
 Teams are providing inventory and ‘Wish List’. Steering group will then recommend a standard
set of equipment for all teams.
 Purchasing will be centralized, by host agency
 MIMIT Trailers – 2 for the PNW will be available from Prineville Dispatch
 Vendor Transition Kits – These will be order as one team is demob’d, and another comes in.
Data Updates - Fuel treat and Fire History (2001-Present), Engine Water Source, and aviation hazard
maps are being updated. These will all be available June.
RAVAR Cadre – Trained set of GIS folks will be available to generate RAVAR maps when needed.
WFDSS – New functionality for tracking decisions made. Limited webinar training available.
ICAP – All positions on all Oregon teams, including the national teams, were recruited using the Incident
Command Application web based system. Big time saver, so likely will be used by all teams in the PNW.
Other regions are looking to use this as well.
Fire Restrictions – www.firerestrictions.net – single source for public fire restriction information across
agencies.
Google Earth – WFDSS is supporting this project for a ‘Fire Globe’, but will no longer be the sponsor. It
will now be its own project with distinct funding. It is available now, but not complete. A complete
globe may show up mid-season this year.
Fire Data Disks – The loaner disks at each unit contain the most up-to-date fire related data. These are
being updated now, and a new contact list is available.
