Abstract

Potential Operational Delineations (PODs) is a spatial wildfire planning framework that brings together operational fire responses and landscape management goals from Forest Planning documents. It was developed by scientists at the Rocky Mountain Research Station (RMRS) Wildfire Risk Management Science Team, Colorado Forest Restoration Institute (CFRI) and Oregon State University College of Forestry, and forest and fire managers.
