Fire Research And Management Exchange System (FRAMES)
The Fire Research And Management Exchange System or FRAMES is a systematic method of exchanging information and transferring technology between wildland fire researchers, managers, and other stakeholders. The goal is to make wildland fire data, metadata, tools, and other information resources easy to find, access, distribute, compare, and use. |
Firewise
The national Firewise Communities program is a multi-agency effort designed to reach beyond the fire service by involving homeowners, community leaders, planners, developers, and others in the effort to protect people, property, and natural resources from the risk of wildland fire - before a fire starts. The Firewise Communities approach emphasizes community responsibility for planning in the design of a safe community as well as effective emergency response, and individual responsibility for safer home construction and design, landscaping, and maintenance. |
History of Forest Battles Offers View to Future (1-25-07)
Some of the changing social values and demands to ensure “species viability” that ultimately caused the collapse of national forest management plans in the 1980s and 90s have been addressed, scientists say, but other topics still have similar potential for conflict. |
Institute for Natural Resources
Created by the Oregon Legislature with the Oregon Sustainability Act of 2001, the Institute works to provide Oregon leaders with ready access to current, science-based information and methods for better understanding our resource management challenges and developing solutions. The Institute coordinated development of the North Coast Basin prototype web portal. |
LANDFIRE
LANDFIRE, also known as the Landscape Fire and Resource Management Planning Tools Project, is a five-year, multi-partner project producing consistent and comprehensive maps and data describing vegetation, wildland fuel, and fire regimes across the United States. |
Oregon Department of Forestry
The Oregon Department of Forestry was established in 1911. It is under the direction of the state forester who is appointed by the State Board of Forestry. The statutes direct the state forester to act on all matters pertaining to forestry, including collecting and sharing information about the conditions of Oregon's forests, protecting forestlands and conserving forest resources. |
Oregon Habitat Joint Venture
Since 1991, private groups and government agencies have been working through the Oregon Habitat Joint Venture to conserve fish and wildlife habitat in Oregon’s most important wetlands. More recently, these partners have also begun working to protect and restore other important bird habitats. |
Oregon State Fire Marshal
The Oregon State Fire Marshal protects citizens, their property and the environment from fires and hazardous materials. |
Oregon State University Libraries
OSU Libraries provide support to meet the informational, reference, and research needs of the faculty, staff, and students at Oregon State University and citizens around the state. This support is provided through the libraries' collection of more than 1.4 million volumes, 14,000 serials, and more than 500,000 maps and government documents, which comprises materials in all subject areas. OSU Libraries assisted with development of the North Coast Basin prototype web portal. |
Pacific Northwest Wildfire Coordinating Group (PNWCG)
Pacific Northwest Wildfire Coordinating Group provides a coordinated interagency approach to wildfire management in Oregon and Washington. It is composed of fire prevention professionals from the USDA Forest Service, the USDI Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Indian Affairs, National Park Service, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, along with the Oregon Department of Forestry, Washington Department of Natural Resources, Washington Association of Fire Chiefs, and the Oregon Fire Chiefs Association. |
