The USDA Forest Service Strategic Analytics Branch Risk Management Assistance (RMA) Dashboard is a series of tabs to products to help line officers, agency administrators, fire managers, incident management teams, area commands, geographic area coordination centers, and multi-agency coordination groups to make more risk-informed decisions to achieve safer and improved outcomes. These additional analytics are not a replacement for locally-derived and calibrated decision thresholds or procedures as outlined in manual direction (e.g., the WFDSS Decision, Fire Danger Operating Plans). However, it is hoped that these new products can be infused into pre- and post-planning and incident response systems, procedures, and documentation, like the WFDSS Course of Action or Rationale. Several of the RMA analytics can be used to support the Incident Strategic Alignment Process (ISAP) and Strategic Operation Planning. Also, the RMA Dashboard can be used for fuels planning and prioritization, using national, regional, and state risk assessments (Video on RMA Sharepoint), particularly in high risk firesheds and Wildfire Crisis Strategy Landscapes.
