Context for IRWIN development Wildland Fire IT What

� Context for IRWIN development � Wildland Fire I&T � What is IRWIN? � Current development phase � Development timeline � Q&A 2

WILDLAND FIRE INFORMATION & TECHNOLOGY (WFIT) � MOU final signature August 1, 2012 � Harris Sherman – USDA Under Secretary – Natural Resources and Environment � Rhea Suh – DOI Assistant Secretary – Policy, Management and Budget � Concurrence: � Chief, USFS; Directors – BIA, BLM, FWS, NPS, USGS; Administrator – US Fire Administration

SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? � Interdepartmental process for managing Wildland Fire I&T investments � Emphasis on Wildland Fire Business driving I&T solutions and services � Solutions are interoperable and interconnected � Reduce complexity to users

SPECIAL FOCUS AREAS � National Computer Aided Dispatch � Task team chartered � Fast track effort – recommended solution by mid. FY 14 � Reviewing previous work (2008 Dispatch Study, etc) � Validating, updating business requirements �A CAD needs to do “this” because… � Dispatch and management perspectives � Consideration of overall IT portfolio capabilities � Considering application national standards or a single

SPECIAL FOCUS AREAS � Data Management Program � Charter being developed � Tasked with managing data across all applications � Includes review of historical fire occurrence data, aka Final Fire Reports � Identification of Authoritative Data Sources � Management of Data Element and Geospatial Data Layer Standards � Goal: Simplify data entry and maintenance requirements for the field while providing more consistent, timely, and reliable data

WHAT IS IRWIN? � Integrated Reporting of Wildland-Fire Information � Reduce redundant data entry � Increase data consistency � Provide authoritative operational data � Speed access to data in diverse source systems � Chartered � DOI by DOI and USDA FS is the managing agency � “Black Box” – orchestrates data exchange between applications 7

IRWIN 8

DEVELOPMENT � Five systems prototyped � Wild. CAD (Refresh & CAD Integration Server) � Fire. Code � WFDSS � Sit 209 (Updated) � Enterprise Geospatial Portal (EGP) 9

CAD (WILDCAD AS PROTOTYPE) � When used, CAD is expected to be the Authoritative Data Source for basic incident data � Fire Name, Discovery Date/Time, Initial Location, etc � CADs will need a mechanism to submit initial incident data to IRWIN and/or request a Fire. Code � “Get Fire. Code” button � Conflict Resolution – surfaced to dispatcher for resolution upon detection � Example center criteria: 6 hrs, ½ mile, not from the same 10

FIRECODE, WFDSS, SIT 209 � Fire. Code � Goal is to request and receive a Fire. Code without leaving the CAD � All Fire. Code required data must originate in the CAD � WFDSS/Sit 209 � Incident data from IRWIN will be used to create new records using a drop down list in the application 11

ENTERPRISE GEOSPATIAL PORTAL (EGP) � New FS application being developed with IRWIN � Provides a geospatial presentation of IRWIN data � Will present a map interface for Conflict Resolution � Provides a Common Operating Picture � Role based views: Incident, regional, national, executive summary, public 12

IRWIN POTENTIAL IMPACTS & ISSUES � Standardization of data across applications � Do we all really know what Location means at any point in time? � Initial location, updated location, final “Point of Origin” � Does every system need the location data? � What are the implications if only the ADS has that data element? 13

CURRENT DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE � Development of IRWIN Database and exchange capabilities underway � User Acceptance Testing planned for Fall 2013 � Production (Go Live) planned for Spring 2014 � Identifying next applications for prototyping in 2013 � Additional CADs, ROSS, weather, NWCG Unit IDs, etc � Repeat this basic process of prototyping, development and implementation of 4 -7 applications each year through 2017 14
